AttributeError: module 'pypandoc' has no attribute 'convert'

Hello there,

I have used vContact in Kbase and am excited to try it locally. However, upon installation on a WSL Ubuntu 20.04 I’m getting the below error. In the recent release of PyPandoc (version 1.8), the convert function was removed after a year of being deprecated. See similar issue here.

I tried downgrading pypandoc to 1.7.0 but then there were incompatibility errors for clusterone.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Rene
