Will it still be possible to install the older version of this project until 3 is a bit more stable? This will be more Windows. I understand there is a the exe files, but they lack the key files I need to edit that pip install allow me to do. Unless it’s saving it some place? I would go with the newer version, but I made some changes to some of the key files for some improvements on speed and control.
Not a big fan of the type check code:) Seems a bit complex for no real gains really.
Right off the bat I am already getting on version 3.0.3:

Sure - we won’t provide support for old releases, but we won’t stop you from installing and using them.

This looks like you have a `typing.py` file somewhere in your code? Python’s typing module definitely has a `Type` attribute: [https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.5/Lib/typing.py#L2092](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.5/Lib/typing.py#L2092)

This is just running the raw line:
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local/Programs/Python/Python35/Scripts/mitmdump
Possible something else with python might be causing this? It’s a fresh install windows and a fresh copy from pip install.
I understand no support, but is there a way to install it from github? I am not 100% sure how to go about installing the older version now.

This most definitely looks like you have a borked Python installation. You can install old releases from pip like this: `pip install mitmproxy~=2.0.0`

Thanks, I will reinstall python and see if that will fix anything. I just created the VM today, so everything should’ve been a fresh copy.
