Thank you for filing this issue.

This looks similar to #1484, it may be related to broken dependencies. This document may be helpful

https://aider.chat/docs/troubleshooting/imports.html

If possible and available try using pipx to install aider, it is much less painful than either

• pip (which interferes with the main Python installation)
• system packages (which often do not get the dependencies correct, sadly)

pipx creates a venv automatically for you and handles everything behind the scenes, I strongly recommend to use this method for installing aider.

This looks like a duplicate of #1236, so I'm going to close it so discussion can happen there. Please let me know if you think it's actually a distinct issue.
