NameError: name 'create_agent' is not defined

[MorenoLaQuatra]

Rasa version: 2.6.0

Rasa SDK version (if used & relevant): Not relevant

Rasa X version (if used & relevant): Not applicable

Python version: 3.7

Operating system (windows, osx, ...): Google Colab

Issue: When following the tutorial there is an error in the chat(model_path, endpoints) function. The error is related to the create_agent function that has not been correctly imported in jupyter.py. I solved by manually adding

from rasa.core.agent import Agent, create_agent in jupyter.py.

I also found this condition:

if typing.TYPE_CHECKING:
    from rasa.core.agent import Agent, create_agent

Is it necessary and above all, does it works as expected?

Error (including full traceback):

NameError: name 'create_agent' is not defined

if this is on the google colab environment, using rasa version 1.10.3, solved the "NameError: name "create_agent" is not defined" for me... should be a convenient workaround for now.

Thank you for pointing out the workaround.

@TyDunn this actually seems to have been fixed by this PR referenced above - is it safe to close this ticket?
