typing_extensions module not found error

[wichert]

I have a GitHub workflow which automatically publishes a package to an internal repository. This started failing suddenly:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/twine", line 5, in <module>
    from twine.__main__ import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/twine/__main__.py", line 22, in <module>
    from twine import cli
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/twine/cli.py", line 21, in <module>
    import rich.logging

    from .traceback import Traceback

    from .syntax import Syntax
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/rich/syntax.py", line 52, in <module>
    from typing_extensions import TypeAlias
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'typing_extensions'

I suspect this happens as a result of our GitHub Enterprise instance rebuilding the action and picking up a broken version of rich.

Looks like this was fixed in Textualize/rich#2387, but GH/GHE instances may need an update in this action to force a rebuild with a newer rich version.

[webknjaz]

GH/GHE instances may need an update in this action to force a rebuild with a newer rich version.

AFAIK, the container is built on each run (unless GH changed that). Since this issue is 2 weeks old and nobody else complained, I'm going to assume that it's self-healed now.
This #99 (comment) suggests that having cache: pip with actions/setup-python@v4 was causing the problem (supposedly because ~/ gets mounted into the container).

I've filed #101 to track an ultimate fix for problems of this category, and so I'm closing this issue now.
