Good afternoon all, I am trying to setup a python 2.0 extension and every time I initialize the workspace I get this error. 2024-04-26T21:23:49.993Z [ERROR][dynatrace-extensions.initWorkspace] Unexpected error: Traceback (most recent call last):  File “c:\users\aab0142\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\runpy.py”, line 194, in \_run\_module\_as\_main    return \_run\_code(code, main\_globals, None,  File “c:\users\aab0142\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\runpy.py”, line 87, in \_run\_code    exec(code, run\_globals)  File “C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Scripts\dt-sdk.exe\_\_main\_\_.py”, line 4, in \  File “c:\users\userid\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\dynatrace\_extension\_\_init\_\_.py”, line 11, in \    from .sdk.extension import DtEventType, Extension  File “c:\users\userid\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\dynatrace\_extension\sdk\extension.py”, line 85, in \    class CountMetricRegistrationEntry(NamedTuple):  File “c:\users\userid\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\dynatrace\_extension\sdk\extension.py”, line 88, in CountMetricRegistrationEntry    dimensions\_list: list[str]TypeError: ‘type’ object is not subscriptableI have generated new certificates and also published them to dynatrace. I still get the same error. I would also like to add that I am using a Dynatrace Managed Env and had to add the flag “disableSSLVerification”. Can someone please help asap! Thank you! ---

Hi [@trevordconsult](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/75089) , Can you please try updating to Python 3.10 from 3.8 as that is what is currently used by the Extensions 2.0 framework. ---

I got passed that issue and now I am getting this issue? I still cannot seem to init the workspace. 2024-04-27T15:30:33.867Z [INFO][utils.conditionCheckers.checkDtSdkPresent] Is dt-sdk available? false2024-04-27T15:30:54.537Z [ERROR][utils.subprocesses.runCommand] {  “error”: [    “‘dt-sdk’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,”,    “operable program or batch file.”,    “” ],Is there a separate command to install dt-sdk? Would this mater if I am running python version 3.11? ---

Please use Python 3.10 and then install the SDK in your global Python environment. See the docs here to install the SDK via pip : [Dynatrace Extensions SDK for Python — dt-sdk 1.0.0 documentation](https://dynatrace-extensions.github.io/dt-extensions-python-sdk/#installation) ---

Hi [@subashsagi41](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/66475) , My apologies for the delay in responding. Are you still experiencing this issue? To be sure, you’ve installed the SDK first? ```auto pip install dt-extensions-sdk[cli] ``` Can you run ```auto dt-sdk --help ``` manually and it works?  Are you using python in a venv or in the “global” install?
