Getting the following TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'iam_apikey'

Running this on Raspbian Buster. I upgraded as per the instructions on cloud.ibm.com api docs:

Installing collected packages: ibm-cloud-sdk-core, ibm-watson
Found existing installation: ibm-cloud-sdk-core 0.5.1
Uninstalling ibm-cloud-sdk-core-0.5.1:
  Successfully uninstalled ibm-cloud-sdk-core-0.5.1
Found existing installation: ibm-watson 3.4.0
Uninstalling ibm-watson-3.4.0:
  Successfully uninstalled ibm-watson-3.4.0
Successfully installed ibm-cloud-sdk-core-1.0.0 ibm-watson-4.0.1

The script looks like:

#!/usr/bin/python3
from ibm_watson import TextToSpeechV1
import json

text_to_speech = TextToSpeechV1(
    iam_apikey='7XT8Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    url='https://stream.watsonplatform.net/text-to-speech/api'
)

with open('file.wav', 'wb') as audio_file:
    audio_file.write(
...

Again, the code block only includes the first line. Not real helpful. The almost identical script runs fine on Mint 18.

The actual error:
python3 watson.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "watson.py", line 7, in <module>
    url='https://stream.watsonplatform.net/text-to-speech/api'
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'iam_apikey'

Just for good measure I attempted to connect using node.js code and I get a similar error, "missing keyword apikey"

Thanks for any help. Jim.

In version 4, which you are now using, the TextToSpeechV1 constructor changed to accept an authenticator instead of an iam_apikey to allow additional authentication mechanisms. From the migration docs:

Before

from ibm_watson import MyService

service = MyService(
   iam_apikey='{apikey}',
   url='{url}'
)

After (V4.0)

from ibm_watson import MyService
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator('{apikey}')
service = MyService(
   authenticator=authenticator
)
service.set_service_url('{url}')

In your case, MyService would be TextToSpeechV1.
