Dependency `typing` breaks `pip install`

[StasDeep]

When using python 3.7, I get this error when trying to pip install something.

  Traceback (most recent call last):

This is because of the typing usage as a dependency. This should be included: typing;python_version<"3.5"

This error makes impossible deployment to zyte (scrapinghub)

Is there anything holding back on accepting this solution? I am having trouble using the lib on aws lambdas using Python 3.8 because of the typing problem. I can run it on Python 3.8 on my local machine though. Cant quite undestand why.
