Hi @yassun7010, thanks for sharing the idea!
TypedDict is a relatively new feature introduced in Python 3.8, and this SDK still supports Python 3.6 and 3.7. We know these older versions are already EOLed, but in reality, many apps need a certain amount of time to upgrade to a newer runtime. Therefore, we don't immediately cut support for those versions.
We may consider dropping support for the old versions starting with the next major release (v4), but we don't plan to bump the major version in the short term. We will keep this issue open as a future enhancement idea. Thanks again for sharing this!
