That error is coming from Python’s typing machinery, and it boils down to this:

1. What it’s saying
   In your generated SDK code, there’s a method defined roughly like this:

   from typing_extensions import TypedDict
   
   class Api:
       @classmethod
       def _verify_typed_dict_inputs_oapg(
           cls: typing.Type[TypedDict],
           data: typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]
       ):
           …

   When Python sees typing.Type[TypedDict], it treats TypedDict (from typing_extensions) as a “plain” type argument, and in 3.13 the typing system now rejects using a TypedDict itself as a generic parameter to Type[...]. Hence the complaint:

   Plain typing_extensions.TypedDict is not valid as type argument

2. Why it happens in Python 3.13
   Python 3.13 tightened up what you’re allowed to put inside typing.X[...]—only bona‑fide classes or other approved typing constructs. A TypedDict is actually a special helper for type checkers, not a real class you can parameterize, so Type[TypedDict] is disallowed.

3. How to fix it
   You have a few options:

   • Downgrade to Python ≤ 3.12 for now. These versions didn’t enforce this rule yet, so the SDK will import cleanly.

   • Patch the generated SDK to remove the illegal generic. For example, open kinde_sdk/api_client.py and change

     def _verify_typed_dict_inputs_oapg(
         cls: typing.Type[typing_extensions.TypedDict],
         data: typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]
     ):

     to something like

     # drop the TypedDict generic parameter
     def _verify_typed_dict_inputs_oapg(
         cls: type,
         data: dict[str, Any]
     ):

     or simply annotate it as # type: ignore if you don’t care about the typing there.

   • Upgrade to a kinde-sdk release that’s been regenerated against Python 3.13’s typing rules (if one is available). Check their PyPI or GitHub for a 3.13‑compatible version.

---

In short: Python 3.13 no longer lets you write Type[TypedDict] (because a TypedDict isn’t a “real” class to parameterize). The Kinde SDK’s generated code is triggering that check. You can work around it by downgrading Python, patching the annotation out, or updating to an SDK version that fixes the signature.

Hey there! To resolve this, please upgrade to SDK version 2.0 or higher. See the migration guide here: https://github.com/kinde-oss/kinde-python-sdk/blob/main/MIGRATION.md 🚀 Is anything blocking you from migrating? Let us know!
