can not import name "smart run"

[newcodemarc]

I used the usual instapy before and it worked well. Now I wanted to try out the quickstart version and after running the quickstart script I get this error starting instapy with quickstart. Installed it on Windows

Traceback (most recent call last): File "../quickstart.py", line 4, in from instapy import smart_run ImportError: cannot import name 'smart_run' Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .

does annyone know what is wrong with it?

Same issue, but on a Mac. I think the pip needs to be updated and re-released.

Have you guys installed and updated InstaPy? Try hitting the update script once or doing pip install -U instapy

Requirement already up-to-date: instapy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (0.1.3

Still problem with smart_run ? How does your quickstart file look like? Have you used the quickstart file from this repository?

Also, where does your quickstart file reside? Is it still inside this repository?

@timgrossmann

I've tried saving this example on the Desktop, so it's not in any repository anymore but I still get the smart_run error.

  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
    from instapy import smart_run
ImportError: cannot import name smart_run

My quick start file look like this:

# imports
from instapy import InstaPy
from instapy import smart_run

# login credentials
insta_username = ''
insta_password = ''

# get an InstaPy session!
# set headless_browser=True to run InstaPy in the background
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
                  password=insta_password,
                  headless_browser=False,
                  multi_logs=True)

with smart_run(session):
    """ Activity flow """
    # general settings
    session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True, potency_ratio=-1.21, delimit_by_numbers=True,
                                    max_followers=4590, max_following=5555, min_followers=45, min_following=77)

    session.set_dont_include(['someone'])
    session.set_smart_hashtags(['graffiti', 'streetart', 'art', 'mural'], limit=5, sort='top', log_tags=True)
    session.like_by_tags(amount=10, use_smart_hashtags=True)

    session.like_by_tags(['instagraffiti', 'sprayart'], amount=5, interact=True)

    session.like_by_feed(amount=9, randomize=True, unfollow=False, interact=False)

@newcodemarc That is super weird 🤔

Can you please do:

pip uninstall instapy

and then run the install script in the installation folder again and paste the full output of that installation script in here? 😊

[Zettt]

@timgrossmann Here's the pastebin. https://pastebin.com/N57hPR2n

[timgrossmann]

@Zettt Install Python3 please

And paste the output of pip list|grep instapy, please

Really weird, too that you get that error upon executing the update command script. Same error when actually double clicking it?

[newcodemarc]

I´ll try it tonight. My solution was to just go back to the old version with the old installation and then update it there instead of doing the quickstart installation.

@timgrossmann I tried it, and it worked with Python 3. Thank you.

@newcodemarc You can have Python 2 and 3 installed. For me it was simply pip3 install -U instapy. Then run python3 quickstart.py.

But I also had to move the workspace folder too. It crashed a couple of times as well, which is likely an unrelated issue (wrong indentation in Python file, Little Snitch blocking Python, etc.)
