I have this code in Python

from web3 import Web3
from lxml import html
import requests
import random
from colorama import Fore, Style
from hdwallet import HDWallet
from hdwallet.symbols import ETH as SYMBOL


z=0
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("http://localhost:8551", request_kwargs={'timeout': 60}))
f = open("ethkey.txt", "r")
password = "any"
while True:
    Linereader = f.readline(-1)
    Linereader = Linereader[:64]
    w3.geth.personal.import_raw_key(Linereader,password)
    z=z+1
    print("OK")
    continue
f.close()

This program gives:

server refused to connect (not Authorized 401)

Can you please help?

I tried to enable personal from Geth, same problem persists.

I'm trying to import a private keys file into Geth using Web3 as the list is long.

it's something related to initializing Geth with option like --rpc or --rpcapi for newer release of geth --rpcpredicatepersonal

so it would be

geth --rpcpredicatepersonal

if it doesn't help there might be an authorization script for the configuration of geth you might want to read

it's this line that gives the problem of 401

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("http://localhost:8551", request_kwargs={'timeout': 60}))

so I think there might be an argument of authorization

https://docs.web3js.org/guides/web3_providers_guide/

or try to use web sockets or IPC with proper geth initialization

https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/providers.html#web3.providers.rpc.HTTPProvider

What is the of use Web3.providers.HttpProvider("")

What is the of use Web3.providers.HttpProvider("")

in reference to web3 documentation there seems no authorizing but to use the provider http:// link like root:pass@http://bla:8551/
