Hi - first ever GitHub error report. Apologies if I'm missing any key info.

Installing fmREST on a Raspberry Pi and getting the following error at install, and when I just try to make a test connection to a FM17 database:

"raise RecordError('Not a valid record instance. record_id is missing.') from None"

Full install error:

Hi, Thanks for the report.

it seems you are using Python 2.7 whereas the library only supports Python 3.6+. Can you use Python 3? Let me know if it works or if you are having more issues.

I will look into a way to prevent that you are able to install it on older versions to avoid confusion. So I will keep this issue open for now.

Thanks for the quick reply, David.
I've struggled getting 3.6 or 3.7 going on Pi's in the past for other projects, but I got it installed and compiled with ease this time.

But... when I run your sample login code with:
python3.6 test.py

It complains that fmrest is not installed. When I check with pip3, it appears to have installed it to python3.4 not 3.7, presumably from an earlier attempt at installing python3. Do you have a tip on how to point pip3 at the correct/new python3.7? I know that this is unrelated to this codebase, but might be helpful to others who run into my install issue.

David - I can use google to figure this out. Sorry...

Versions are now pinned in v1.0.3; old releases won't change, so pip might automatically downgrade and find a release without python_requires, but it's there now for the future.

@alfista2600 Have a look at Virtualenv. It makes running multiple Python versions and dependencies really easy. In case you are accidentally calling the wrong Python/pip you may want to check and maybe adjust your $PATH. Hope this helps.
