If you get above error pip install xq .Try with below command :

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip

brew install python --> install the latest Python.
ls -l /usr/local/bin/python* --> List all Python versions installed on your system.
ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/python[your-latest-version-just-installed] /usr/local/bin/python --> Change default Python version to the latest version.
E.g: ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/python3.9 /usr/local/bin/python
Restart terminal.
python --version --> Check Python version default again.

try the following in your mac terminal:

/usr/local/opt/python@3.9/bin/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip

then:

pip install typing

From the docs:

For package maintainers, it is preferred to use typing;python_version<"3.5" if your package requires it to support earlier Python versions. This will avoid shadowing the stdlib typing module when your package is installed via pip install -t . on Python 3.5 or later.

xq might need python3 for smooth running, did not check it though. Maybe you can elaborate a little of your expectation in the question
