Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'django_typer' has no attribute 'TyperCommand' ↓

fix

Install latest: pip install --upgrade django-typer; import from django_typer (not django_typer.management).

error django.core.management.base.SystemCheckError: SystemCheckError: ... ↓

cause Command class inherits from BaseCommand instead of TyperCommand.

Warnings

breaking django-typer drops support for Python versions below 3.10 starting from v3.0. ↓

fix Upgrade to Python 3.10 or higher.

gotcha Commands must use TyperCommand, not BaseCommand. Mixing them may cause unexpected behavior. ↓

fix Always subclass TyperCommand in management commands.

gotcha django-typer uses typer internally; ensure the typer version is compatible. Versions before 3.6.0 used typer-slim. ↓

fix Update to django-typer >=3.6.0 and install typer (not typer-slim).
