Unsupported daemon version '0.12.2' (not in range: 0.4.3 \u2264 � < 0.5.0)

[jay0x5]

Hi i am new to IPFS and Python and while trying out to store data on ipfs i ran into some errors, please help me

here is my code:

import ipfshttpclient
client = ipfshttpclient.connect('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8080)  # Connects to: /dns/localhost/tcp/5001/http
res = client.add('test.txt')

Here is the error:
ipfshttpclient.exceptions.VersionMismatch: Unsupported daemon version '0.8.0' (not in range: 0.4.18 \u2264 � < 0.5.0)

go-ipfs version: 0.12.2
Repo version: 12
Platform: Windows10

Same!

@BobBorges i solved this by writing my code in javascript and using Js IPFS lib
looks like python lib is abandoned

@jay0x5 I've seen similar comments in other places too – problem is, I just hate javascript. I went into my package files and changed the VERSION_MAXIMUM variable to "0.13.0", line 19 in client/__init__.py. After that it allows me to connect and add(). I haven't fully explored the consequence of this hack (I'm still trying to wrap my head around IPFS in general) – but I suppose if it would be so simple someone else would have done this already.

@BobBorges Nice hack! i wish i knew it earlier :(
Please keep me updated here or you may contact me on email: contactjay0x5@gmail.com
would love to see how it goes!

Same. Is this repo abandoned then?

[jay0x5]

@willcharlton yep! its abandoned :(

I'm getting a similar issue with trying to connect using python
"VersionMismatch: Unsupported daemon version '0.11.0' (not in range: 0.4.22 ≤ … < 0.7.0)"
If this is abandoned how else can I connect to IPSF via something like infura and interact with IPFS? Any pointers from here people for a bit of IPFS action via python?

@Bird-NZ - this looks promising: https://gitlab.com/cipres/aioipfs

not working for me any other solution ipfshttpclient.exceptions.VersionMismatch: Unsupported daemon version '0.13.0' (not in range: 0.4.18 ≤ … < 0.5.0)

For anyone wondering, this is abandoned, I have been told by a "higher up". Use subprocess and interact with the software through that, there's no excuse to use the older version just to make it work with python. However, it doesn't discredit the daemon.

It's absolutely absurd that ipfs doesn't have a working client in python

This solution has worked for me. I was successfully able to connect, add a new file and access it from a public gateway. Thanks. Is this project no longer maintained?

It appears that it is abandoned. Has anyone on this thread evaluated https://gitlab.com/cipres/aioipfs?
