[Python] Pandas.read_sql throw exception from sqlalchemy: AttributeError: 'Connection' object...

#pd.version is '2.0.2' #sqlalchemy.version is '1.3.7'

import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine

conn_str = 'connection_string'
engine = create_engine(conn_str)


Yesterday everything was fine and worked but today, when I call pd.read_sql(ANY_QUERY, con=engine) I get an exception:

~/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pandas/io/sql.py in read_sql(sql, con, index_col, coerce_float, params, parse_dates, columns, chunksize, dtype_backend, dtype)
661 )
662 else:
--> 663 return pandas_sql.read_query(
664 sql,
665 index_col=index_col,

AttributeError: 'Connection' object has no attribute 'exec_driver_sql'


The solution is to add to engine .raw_connection() -> engine.raw_connection()

But what is happening? I did nothing, no new libs, no lib updates. Could anyone please explain me.
