Python Code Error on Mac - What I'm doing wrong?

Question

I'm no coder, this is my first attempt to coding something.

I followed some instruction on YouTube to create an automation using Python and InstaPy.

The code of the .py file is the following

from instapy import InstaPy

from instapy import smart_run

my_username = 'myuser'

my_password = 'mypassword'

session = InstaPy(username=my_username,

password=my_password,

headless_browser=True)

with smart_run(session):

`session.set_relationship_bounds(enable=True,`

delimit_by_numbers=True,

max_followers=600,

min_followers=30,

max_following=600)

`session.like_by_tags(['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3', 'tag4'], amount=300)`

The headless_browser=True because I want to run multiple automatons for different accounts that I have.

At least, based on the tutorials, that's what I think is the correct way.

Using the Terminal, accessing the folder on the desktop where the file is located I run the command python3 test.py

I'm getting a huge error.

I already looked at some post on GtHub that refer to errors on mac

https://github.com/timgrossmann/InstaPy/issues/5672

and I've already followed the instruction there, but I still get this error:

InstaPy Version: 0.6.13

Can someone help me understand what should I do?

Thank you so much for you time.

Could you please format the code properly? It's lacking any indentation and that every second line is a blank line makes it hard to read. — mkrieger1, Jun 22 '21 at 17:46

"I'm no coder, this is my first attempt to coding something." Then you should follow a tutorial *for the language itself* and learn the fundamentals, before trying to use a library for some special-purpose thing and typing in a bunch of code you don't understand. — Karl Knechtel, Jun 22 '21 at 18:06

Its a current issue on github right now. There are two versions of the gecko driver with the package.

Update line 320 in webdriverdownloader.py to:

filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name in name and name[-12:] == 'macos.tar.gz' ]

Thank you! Where I find the webdriverdownloader.py ? I've searched, but it doesn't appear. – A V Jun 22 '21 at 17:54
`/Users/mac/Desktop/instapy/lib/python3.9/site-packages/webdriverdownloder/webdriverdownloader.py` is what is mentioned in what i found – stefan_aus_hannover Jun 22 '21 at 17:56
Thank you. As I'm not finding anything, I tried to reinstall, and I got this message: ERROR: This script does not work on Python 2.7 The minimum supported Python version is 3.6. Please use https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py instead. – A V Jun 22 '21 at 18:05
I followed the link, but it's a page with a code. What should I do? – A V Jun 22 '21 at 18:06
Are you set on using Python 2.7? – stefan_aus_hannover Jun 22 '21 at 18:06
Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know how to answer your question. I've installed, following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-w5ya9abAA – A V Jun 22 '21 at 19:17
@AV what does `python --version` say in a command prompt/ terminal? – stefan_aus_hannover Jun 22 '21 at 19:52
The folder in the Application folder says that is a Python 3.9 – A V Jun 24 '21 at 08:34
@AV but what version of python do you have installed? – stefan_aus_hannover Jun 24 '21 at 14:46
The last one. So 3.9. I guess – A V Jun 29 '21 at 07:28
