What you expected to happen: Expect the airflow help string to print

How to reproduce it: Any cli invocation

Anything else we need to know: More relevant modules:

cattrs                             0.9.1
backports.functools-lru-cache      1.6.1

Also see the information about using constraint files to install the dependencies that are guaranteed to work: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/v1-10-stable/CONTRIBUTING.rst#pinned-requirement-files

This installation method should work:

pip install apache-airflow[.... Some extras here]==1.10.10 \
    --constraint https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/airflow/1.10.10/requirements/requirements-python3.6.txt

This method is also used to prepare official airflow images.

In those requirement files cattrs are 0.9.0 version

Thanks! Definitely looks like a cattrs issue, rather than anything on your end. Thanks for explanation. Feel free to close! Unfortunately because of the state of python dependency management I don’t think this will be the first bug report like this.
