Is the boxsdk 10.0.0 Python module a legitimate release?

I updated a Python environment this afternoon and my code using boxsdk stopped passing validation. The environment claiming that “boxsdk is not present,” despite it being installed. I then noted the module version had jumped from 3.14.0 to 10.0.0.

 

I reverted to 3.14.0 and the code again passed validation.

 

Suspicious?

Hey ​@seanys

We have just released another major version of Box SDKs. Check this resources, as might be useful to learn more about v4 and v10:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi 

you should regress to the latest BoxSDK 3.x by removing the installed BoxSDK and reinstall using 

pip install "boxsdk~=3.0"

The latest BoxSDK is using new module “box-sdk-gen“, which is impacting the way how to work with the BoxSDK in Python. More details in boxsdk · PyPI.

 

I faced the same issue while provisioning new environment.

It happened before that BoxSDK update caused an issue because of the broken backwards compatibility.

 

Kind regards,
