Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

What did you type into aider to trigger this error?

[paul-gauthier]

BTW, the fix is available in the main branch. You can get it by installing the latest version from github:

aider --install-main-branch

# or...

python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider.git

If you have a chance to try it, let me know if it works better for you.
