python example not working with latest package versions

I was looking to make this example working with the latest package versions for msal and azure-keyvault-secrets. Unfortunately, when I do so, I get the following error:

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to know what changes I should make to your example so that it works with the latest versions of the azure-keyvault-secrets and msal libraries.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keeping those versions pinned, but then I have conflicts with other packages I am using.

Additional context

Ok so apparently it's enough to change your MyClientAssertionCredential.get_token method in file token_credential.py like this

def get_token(self, *scopes, **kwargs):
        # get the token using the application
        # this is the change!
        token = self.app.acquire_token_for_client(list(scopes))
        if 'error' in token:
            raise Exception(token['error_description'])
        expires_on = time.time() + token['expires_in']
        # return an access token with the token string and expiration time
        return AccessToken(token['access_token'], int(expires_on))
