Make sure, you are using latest version of Kite Connect APIs and all the dependencies are installed.Install latest version using pip install kiteconnect --upgrade and then check the version using pip show kiteconnect, it should be 3.7.4.

I am facing the same issue. I have upgraded to 3.7.4

Can you check if your script is speaking to the same path where latest pykiteconnect is installed?

Can you check kite connect client version in the scrip path by pip show kiteconnect, it should be 3.7.4 ?

Yes its 3.7.4.. also i was able to get over the problem by a very weird thing... instead of putting the request token and api secret directly into the function call, i passed them as variables and it ran.. not clear on why something like this would happen.
