    @razcads It seems pip is trying to upgrade requests lib and failing. Can you try `pip install requests --upgrade`? Also you should not ideally use sudo, everything should happen inside virtualenv. You can even skip installing dependencies if the environment already has it (at least 3.7.0). `pip install kiteconnect --upgrade --no-deps`

    @razcads Why dont you use virtualenv? I can see tons of results on google regarding this.

    @zartimus well I don't have a need for virtual env so not going for it. Well looks like I just may have to now. Strange just recently I had kiteconnect installed in another linux machine without an issue.
