[BUG] typer does not support click 8

[ssbarnea]

Describe the bug

click 8 was finally released and typer does not support it, at least from https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/blob/master/pyproject.toml#L30 point of view.

Here is one instance of what happens in case click 8 is installed atm:

Yep, I found it myself but did not had time to investigate. Still we do need tracking ticket for this issue. This can cause real issues for cli authors which expect to install tools outside isolated virtualens (direct affect on those packaging them for linux distros).

Temporary I switched installing my typer based tool using pipx, but I do not expect everyone knowing or being able to the same. At least I am lucky that my typer tools has likely one user only.

Just to cross-ref, this is essentially the same as https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/278

@tiangolo This is beginning to affect our production apps. Other applications, such as uvicorn will use click 8 and that will be pinned by a tool such as pip-tools in requirements.txt, but then we have some CLI tests in that use typer and pin click 7 in dev-requirements.txt. This makes reconciling them extra work.

Fedora Linux just updated to click 8.x in the development version (Rawhide). I just added python-typer to the distribution a little less than two weeks ago, but I won’t be able to keep it there if a patch doesn’t surface in the next couple of months—at least a viable PR, if not a release. (It’s unlikely that I’ll have enough time to study both projects and develop the patch myself.)

@tiangolo was involved in that change from click https://github.com/pallets/click/issues/1484

I think we should just confirm that last commit was a year ago and author just doesn't have time to maintain the package.

@tiangolo recently tweeted that he was hoping to speed up Typer (and FastAPI) development: https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/300#issuecomment-891839986

Hopefully this means he'll be able to devote some time to Typer.

[tiangolo]

Thanks for the interest and discussion everyone! :coffee:

I just released Typer 0.4.0, which is compatible with both Click 7 and Click 8. :tada:

@tiangolo Thank you! ❤️
