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

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

@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.

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