It looks like you have two tab indents at the end of the username. Try re-entering the name without the tabs.

there's a bracket ( " )at the and of anotherusername\t\t/'"} ....

I'm afraid I don't follow. Can you paste the users name exactly as you entered it?

Also, are you running the application from source or the prebuilt executable?

[EC-O-DE]

from .exe not source

and I've added usernames from a text file each to own line no spaces before or after

[EC-O-DE]

when downloading starts to run it recognizes usernames as valid...

[EC-O-DE]

Could it be that save files are located c/users/users/someguy.../. The app itself is located on Z: drive in it's own folder And downloads goes to Y:/Reddit/

the log clearly states that it cannot create folders to Y:/Reddit/

[MalloyDelacroix]

Python can create a folder that is on another drive without issue. As I said before, I believe the problem is that one of the names in the list you are importing has tab characters after the name.

The log is reporting the path Y:/Reddit/anotherusername\t\t/ cannot be created. The \t characters shown are usually represented as a series of spaces, but show as the literal character in the log message. The error is caused because Windows cannot create a file path with a tab in it.

When supplied to reddit for validation, the server apparently strips the characters then validates. The name used for folder creation however is the name as you enter it. This is why the name is making to the folder creation point.

Double check the names in the text file you are importing to make sure there are not any spaces after the names.
