I can not reproduce. You need to provide detail if you want an answer.

Dear @PierreF here is some more context: Raspian, Python 3.7, Installation via pip3 seems to work but import fails even so the package is installed on the right place and looks ok.

pi@rp:~/checkonline $ python3 checkonline.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 49, in <module>
    from typing import Literal
ImportError: cannot import name 'Literal' from 'typing' (/usr/lib/python3.7/typing.py)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "checkonline.py", line 4, in <module>
    import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 51, in <module>

To fix this I tried to install from source like the README.md explains:

I encountered No module named 'typing_extensions' whilst testing another issue . Fixed by running pip install typing_extensions (sorry, not really a solution but may help others work around this). Note that I think the issue initially raised is a different problem.
