Homie (0.4.1)? no attribute mqtt_topic

Just going to look at moving an old script that runs as two pythong scripts, one for tmp one for fan control to homie.

It had been a while, so i performed a pip install --upgrade homie and it lists in pip as .4.1

But upon running I'm getting:

Setting up GPIO ports
GPIO ports set up on port 18
Starting homie
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mqtt.homie.fancontrol.py", line 93, in <module>

    Homie = homie.Homie(configfile)

    self.mqtt_topic + "/$online",

Which seems to be part of the homie framework. my config as follows:

{
    "HOST": "localhost",
    "PORT": 1883,
    "KEEPALIVE": 10,
    "USERNAME": "",
    "PASSWORD": "",
    "CA_CERTS": "",
    "DEVICE_ID": "cupboard",
    "DEVICE_NAME": "cupboard",
    "TOPIC": "sensors/dht",
    "dht": {
        "frequency": 300,
        "pin": 4
    },
    "relay": {
        "pin": 18,
        "log": "/var/log/mqtt/fancontrol-homie.log"
    }
}

Any ideas? Here's the code https://github.com/psyciknz/OpenHAB-Scripts/blob/master/mqtt.homie.fancontrol.py
