Our old application build on python2. Please help me to fix this. Thanks

You will need to pin the libhxl dependency to 4.5.1. Please let me know if that works: it may be that pinning of other dependencies is required.

@hemant-softvan You can try adding to your requirements.txt: hdx-python-utilities==2.7.3 hdx-python-country==2.9.9

If you do the above, you will not need to pin libhxl (as that is already pinned in hdx-python-country 2.9.9). The versions above are the last versions of those two libraries that support Python 2. Please let me know if this works.
