User guide for Python client installation

npchoubey
Dear all,

Do we have single doc on User guide of installing Python client?
I have run thru forum and there is no concise how-to follow. Even few link mentioned are broken for example "https://github.com/zerodhatech/python-wheels/blob/master/Twisted-17.9.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"

I installed latest version of python and later realized it work on 3.6 only.
I would like to see if there is step by step instructions for different versions of OSes, what is prerequisite and dependencies.

Thanks.

    Are you installing python clilent on Windows O.S ?

    Thanks Rakesh.

    I seen the thread and last post say, got installed with warning and still to be tested if works as expected. I will try out those steps.

    Does it mean, Zerodha does not provide any standard installation procedure?

    I got it resolved. Below is what I followed.
    ----------- Steps for install Kite for Python -------
    My system config
    Windows 7 - 64 Bits

    download Python 3.6.7 - 32 bits { https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.7/python-3.6.7.exe }

    Install downloaded python { I used default setup }
    Check with command --> python -V

    Install Third party extension. Zerodha may be fixing it later but this extension is required. Extension depends on which python version we have. Since we have Python 3.6, we need to use Twisted‑18.9.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl

    Install this extension with command --> pip install \Twisted-18.9.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl

    once done

    Install kiteconnet { and your dreams of making big bucks ;) }

    command --> pip install kiteconnect

    We are done !!!
