posthog.project_api_key doesn't work

[philipdouglas]

According to the docs (https://posthog.com/docs/libraries/python#installation) posthog.api_key has been deprecated in favour of posthog.project_api_key.

However, when I use project_api_key with the current version, 1.3.1, it does not work, while api_key does.

Hey! Are you by any chance passing both of them? Or do you have only project_api_key and it still doesn't work?

[neilkakkar]

Just tried this out, just project_api_key doesn't work, and when both are set, we still give precedence to api_key. Thanks for pointing this out, @FreakyDug , will fix!

[philipdouglas]

Yeah, I was only setting project_api_key. Thanks for the quick response!

This may be because actually in most places we still left api_key (only the Client class got updated really) – __init__.py being one example. To fully deprecate api_key we need to change all of its occurrences to project_api_key (danger: this will be a user-facing API change unless we go to pretty extreme lengths to maintain the same getter/setter behavior for project_api_key and api_key everywhere).

[Twixes]

Alright, so we've released a new version of the library, which should work as expected here. Please give it a try @FreakyDug!

That fixed it, thanks @Twixes! Very fast work!
