@klevamane Hi, were you able to find a solution to this. Please advise if you did. Thanks

[klevamane]

Hi, @mahmoudtokura I wasn't able to find a solution to this per se, instead, I implemented Paystack manually using the APIs as opposed to using this package.
That was how I solved the issue.

[mahmoudtokura]

Hi, @klevamane I ended up manually installing it directly on the server but I think your approach is better for long-term support.
I'll do that in my next update.
Thanks

Try including requests==2.26.0 in your project's requirements.txt file to fix this issue.

@sorXCode It doesn't solve the issue

@mahmoudtokura mahmoudtokura
please how did you install it directly to the server and were you using pythonanywhere or heroku

[klevamane]

@mafking if it's heroku, you can access the console and install it from there. But the thing is, you may need to always do this when you push changes

Hi! I've republished this package as pypaystack2

pip install pypaystack2

No major changes were made it still works like
pypaystack but you'll have to import from pypaystack2
more info at PyPaystack2

Just published a new version. I made some changes that aren't backwards compatible with it. But I've tried hard to create a documentation for it you can check it out here. https://pypi.org/project/pypaystack2/

[gray-adeyi]

Hi! I just got a message from someone trying to use pypaystack2 about a bug. "error importing Optional from optparse". that's my fault. if you're experiencing the same issue i've fixed it in the version 1.0.1. https://pypi.org/project/pypaystack2/

[gray-adeyi]

Just added a simple tutorial to the documentation. you can find it out here https://gray-adeyi.github.io/pypaystack2/paystack-client-turorial.html
