@varunyn can you share more about your system? it seems like your python dependencies are not finding all the versions as we have released 8 versions post 8.0.0.b4. https://pypi.org/project/plaid-python/#history

My virtualenv was not set up correctly, was using python 2. It is resolved now. Thanks for the quick response. I am getting this error though when running the app.

Python 3.9.6
macOS: 11.2.3 (Big Sur)

urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='sandbox.plaid.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /link/token/create (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)')))

can you try python 3.7? 3.9 should work but lets rule that out if possible.

[varunyn]

I tried with docker, it is using python:alpine, python 3.9.5. That works fine

@lindawoo-plaid I tried to reproduce this and I could not get the python quickstart to work following the non-docker instructions, I got the error

~/quickstart/python$ python3 server.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ahoffer/quickstart/python/server.py", line 2, in <module>
    from plaid.model.payment_amount import PaymentAmount
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plaid'

Would you be willing to take a look?

[lindawoo-plaid]

@phoenixy1 , "Payment" was changed to "PaymentAmount" in the client libraries. I think you are using an old version of quickstart? Have you downloaded recently?

This was resolved by updating the instructions around python2. My pip was configured to work with python2
