I’m incorporating this into ERPNext. How would I achieve the below in erpnext? I suppose the below will still work(currently getting an ImportError)
def authenticate(self):
"""To make Mpesa API calls, you will need to authenticate your app. This method is used to fetch the access token
required by Mpesa. Mpesa supports client_credentials grant type. To authorize your API calls to Mpesa,
you will need a Basic Auth over HTTPS authorization token. The Basic Auth string is a base64 encoded string
of your app's client key and client secret.
**Args:**
- env (str): Current app environment. Options: sandbox, production.
- app_key (str): The app key obtained from the developer portal.
- app_secret (str): The app key obtained from the developer portal.

This is cool. I together with a few colleagues would be interested in starting a Kenya/EAC community chapter where we can collaborate on this and more stuff specific to this. What do you guys think?
This would be a welcome move.
Been looking for a way to organize such a community.
I initially started by selling ERPNext to partners/implementers I knew from my Dynamics days.
Let’s do it.
