It looks like you solved this issue by downgrading multidict to 4.6.1. That seems like a reasonable workaround until the downstream issue is fixed: aio-libs/multidict#432.

For anyone interested in helping fix this, please help out on the project above ☝️ . multidict is not a direct dependency of this package, its a transient dependency through aiohttp. We could declare a direct dependency to a pinned version (4.6.1) to get this workaround to more people, but I'd prefer not to do that unless there's no movement on multidict solving this issue for a little while.

Hopefully it will be patched soon. Thanks for reporting!

It seems the issue has been addressed since multidict 4.7.2. Allow me to close this issue now but if you see the issue is still happening with newer versions of multidict, please feel free to reopen this.
