Upgrade pykiteconnect

vijoeyz

I have following queries on upgrading pykiteconnect:

1. How do I know what is the current version of installed pykiteconnect?
   
2. Is doing - pip install --upgrade kiteconnect - enough to upgrade?
   
3. Do I need to take specific care while upgrading?
   
4. Just in case, if I want to downgrade, say, because something went wrong after upgrading, how do I do that?

How do I know what is the current version of installed pykiteconnect?

You can check under github package releases section here.

Is doing - pip install --upgrade kiteconnect - enough to upgrade?

Yes

Do I need to take specific care while upgrading?

Make sure your setup tool is updated to latest using pip install -U pip setuptools

Just in case, if I want to downgrade, say, because something went wrong after upgrading, how do I do that?

You can use the pip command to install any version of Kiteconnect package. Eg. pip install kiteconnect==3.8.1

Thank you, @rakeshr

I meant to know how to check the current version installed in my system so that I can revert back to it as mentioned in the last statement. However, I found out that I could just do that with pip like this:

>pip show kiteconnect
 Name: kiteconnect
 Version: 3.8.1
 Summary: The official Python client for the Kite Connect trading API

Also as per the documentation, I understand Python version 3.6.5, which is what I'm using, should be compatible with kiteconnect 3.8.2.
