kiteconnect old library is already loaded in my system
I am using Windows7 64bit version
I have loaded Anaconda (64Bit) python (default) and python 3.5.2 (32bit)
Visual C++ 15/17 already loaded on system

Need your help. Please support.

Q1.
do we need to run following command to upgrade to Kiteconnect3 ? Is there any other steps possible?

pip install kiteconnect --upgrade --pre

Q2.
Why Installation is failing after " error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required." ?

Hi,
The pykiteconnect 3.7.0 beta uses a third-party library for Kite Ticker which requires twisted packages to be installed as well. The twisted has a dependency on Microsoft Visual C++.
You need to first install twisted and then upgrade.

You can refer to this blog-post.

@sujith which part of the documentation clearly describes the process for upgrading to latest version? Even on github "pip install kiteconnect --upgrade --pre" is mentioned. Many of us may be new to programming but have sufficient idea on installing packages. Even to queries , replies do not point to the complete procedure of upgrading step by step ,mentioned at one place. At least I could not find. Refer to this reply -"Hi @darkknight ,
Yeah, you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 and then install twisted frame work(go through this thread) separately and then install kite connect python client." . I do not find "install twisted" mentioned anywhere in docs or related places.

@RP3436,
Makes sense. We will update pykiteconnect's readme.

@sujith, Thanks a lot. I am still trying to upgrade. Wish me luck!
