Divider functionality not / no longer working

[BWotka]

This example from the readMe does not run:

from prettytable import PrettyTable

x = PrettyTable()
x.field_names = ["City name", "Area", "Population", "Annual Rainfall"]
x.add_row(["Adelaide", 1295, 1158259, 600.5])
x.add_row(["Brisbane", 5905, 1857594, 1146.4])
x.add_row(["Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7])
x.add_row(["Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5], divider=True)
x.add_row(["Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9])
x.add_row(["Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4])
x.add_row(["Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8])

add_row() does not even have a divider parameter. While this gets fixed/ the readMe adapted: Is there any other way to get the displayed behaviour?

I just found the commit which belongs to the feature. Its very new and i guess not yet available (neither from normal pip nor via pip&git), tested 5mins ago. Please adapt the readMe to show that this feature is not yet usable.

I think you're using an old version, it works for me with the latest 3.7.0:

>>> from prettytable import PrettyTable
>>>
>>> x = PrettyTable()
>>> x.field_names = ["City name", "Area", "Population", "Annual Rainfall"]
>>> x.add_row(["Adelaide", 1295, 1158259, 600.5])
>>> x.add_row(["Brisbane", 5905, 1857594, 1146.4])
>>> x.add_row(["Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7])
>>> x.add_row(["Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5], divider=True)
>>> x.add_row(["Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9])
>>> x.add_row(["Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4])
>>> x.add_row(["Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8])
>>> x

It was infact a version problem, i was using 3.6.0 . Now works under 3.7.0. i had run python -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/jazzband/prettytable but only pip install --upgrade prettytable actually updated the version. The other command only told me 'requirement already satisfied'
