Getting AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'WeakInstanceDict' while using SQL class in CS50's python library

AttributeError while using SQL class in CS50's Python library in my LInux System. (System information provided in bottom)

@dmalan sir I was doing favorites.py which you demonstrated in week7 SQL lecture in my offline IDE (vscode). Here it is:

favorites.py

import csv

from cs50 import SQL

open("shows.db", "w").close()
db = SQL("sqlite:///shows.db")

db.execute("CREATE TABLE shows (id INTEGER, title TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(id))")
db.execute("CREATE TABLE genres (show_id INTEGER, genre TEXT, FOREIGN KEY(show_id) REFERENCES shows(id))")

with open("Favorite TV Shows - Form Responses 1.csv", "r") as file:
    reader = csv.DictReader(file)
    for row in reader:
        title = row["title"].strip().upper()

        id = db.execute("INSERT INTO shows (title) VALUES(?)", title)

        for genre in row["genres"].split(", "):
            db.execute("INSERT INTO genres (show_id, genre) VALUES(?, ?)", id, genre)

And here's the error I'm getting.

(py39) shyam@shyam-linux:~/Projects/CS50X/week7/fav$ python favorites.py

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'WeakInstanceDict'

Despite these errors, after checking the shows.db file I found the TABLES created and the data from csv file was successfully inserted into them.

I am very new to python and Computer Science. CS50X is my first course in the subject.

My system:

• elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera (Built on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS) Linux 5.4.0-73-generic
• Python version: Python 3.9.5
• cs50 library version: 6.0.4
• IDE: Visual Studio Code 1.56.2

Thank you for reporting this, @tripathics! Out of curiosity, are you seeing this issue on the refactor/scoped-session-fix branch? You should be able to install this version by running:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/cs50/python-cs50@refactor/scoped-session-fix

No @kzidane sir. I installed it the usual way python3 -m pip install cs50

Ok I'll try installing from there and let you know
