Can not use client.convert_from_registers()

[Edgar-qiqi]

After installing pymodbus version 3.9.2 via pip and importing from pymodbus import payload, client, the method client.convert_from_registers() remains inaccessible. Additionally, despite documentation stating that pymodbus.logging:BinaryPayloadDecoder was deprecated post-3.9.0, it persists in version 3.9.2. Furthermore, the removal of client.convert_from_registers() conflicts with earlier API specifications. This indicates potential inconsistencies between versioning claims, API documentation, and actual implementation in the 3.9.x release branch.

We postponed the removal of payload, as you can see in our roadmap, and honestly you are the first to complain about that.

You do not share your code, so I cannot tell you why your app cannot find convert_from_registers. But I can tell you that if convert_from_registers was gone a lot of the test harness would fail (including a larger number of production systems).

Did you follow our examples ??

you write "importing from pymodbus import payload, client", I assume you mean pymodbus.client, but that do not have convert_from_registers, that is part of the client classes. I think you need to look at the examples or the documentation.

Closing as this is not a bug in pymodbus, but a wrong usage.
