exception after installing latest version

[duncandewhurst]

I ran sudo pip3 install --upgrade ocdskit and now after running ocdskit I get the following exceptions:

exception "cannot import name 'auto'" prevented loading of ocdskit.cli.commands.combine_record_packages module
exception "cannot import name 'auto'" prevented loading of ocdskit.cli.commands.combine_release_packages module
exception "cannot import name 'auto'" prevented loading of ocdskit.cli.commands.compile module
exception "cannot import name 'auto'" prevented loading of ocdskit.cli.commands.package_records module
exception "cannot import name 'auto'" prevented loading of ocdskit.cli.commands.package_releases module

I tried sudo pip3 uninstall ocdskit and then sudo pip3 install ocdskit and I am still getting the same exceptions

What is your Python version? It might be a feature of 3.6 and above.

If you pip install 'ocdsmerge<0.5.10' you can get rid of the error, but upgrading to 3.6 is preferred, as 3.5 is end-of-life in less than a year, and most of our tools assume >= 3.6.

[jpmckinney]

Let me know if you need any help upgrading Python (a 5-15 minute operation). OCDS Kit is only Python 3.6 or greater.

Thanks James, I've upgraded to 3.6 and it's solved the issue.

It might be worth adding a note to the install instructions on https://ocdskit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html?
