TypeError: argument must be a context when importing

After I pip install agate, when I import it, I get errors

I'm apparently using agate 1.6.1 but there's no way to verify without importing the package.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Hello, I think this is a problem linked with python and not agate. It is linked with the Decimal class and changes made to it. maybe this could be updated in the code base of agate. PS: I did not find a solution, else would have linked it here, obviously ):

This is a very unusual error. Can you run python, and in the interpreter, run:

from decimal import Decimal
ZERO = Decimal('0')

I don't see why this would cause an error.
