    Description

      Currently, our performance testing framework uses python 3.5.2. I was trying to test out the latest python sdk 3.0.0 in our perf framework to see if there are any issues. I ran pip install git+https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-python-client.git as recommended. I then tried to run 

      from couchbase.exceptions import CouchbaseError

      I did this on two setups: osx with python 3.5.6 and ubuntu with python 3.5.2. In both cases it throws import error:

      Not sure why osx python didnt provide stacktrace.

      Certain version of python do not have  typing._Union and this is a known issue with Cattrs:

      https://github.com/Tinche/cattrs/issues/77

      Cattrs incompatibility is not just for the version I mentioned, 3.5.2 and 3.5.6, but others as well. It seems there are possible work arounds you can implement. Until this is fixed perf team cannot run any tests on latests python sdk. Alternative workaround for perf team would be to upgrade our python version however this is a large task and we would prefer if this is fixed in the sdk.
