SteamAuthenticator throwing "Failed to get a web session" when trying to add 2FA to account

[Impulse-PW]

Here's the code that I have to attempt this:

from steam import SteamClient
from steam.enums.emsg import EMsg
from steam.guard import SteamAuthenticator

#Create our steamclient instance
client = SteamClient()

@client.on("logged_on")
def handle_after_logon():
    print("You are now Logged in.")
    #Setup Autenticator for our steamclient instance "client"
    sa = SteamAuthenticator(medium=client)
    print(sa.has_phone_number())
    sa.add_phone_number("myphone with area code")
    sa.add()    # SMS code will be send to account's phone number
    sa.secrets  # dict with authenticator secrets, make sure you save them
    #We're gonna need these
    print(sa.secrets)
    sa.finalize(str(input("SMS CODE: ")))  # activate the authenticator
    sa.get_code()  # generate 2FA code for login
    sa.remove()  # removes the authenticator from the account

try:
    #Login to our steamclient instance
    client.cli_login("myusername","mypassword")

    #client.on("loggon_on") doesn't trigger without this
    client.run_forever()

#Allow us to logout using keyboard interrupt
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    if client.connected:
        client.logout()

Which in turn throws:

I believe this is a bug, I've read documentation best I can, I hope it's not a silly mistake by me.

I wouldn't structure the code like that, but it should work. I suspect the client instance is not connected when it tried to request a web session. There is not enough info to tell for sure. It would be to enable logging messages and see whats going on.

Haha yes, I'm aware that the code's kinda weird. I've been playing with it for a while and took some weird turns.

I tracked my way through the code and it looks like steam\client\builtins\web.py is returning None on line 77 where it says:

if cookies is None:
    return None 

I checked the code in get_web_session_cookies() and it turns out it's throwing this:

get_web_session_cookies error: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

This happens on line 48 where it says

resp = webapi.post('ISteamUserAuth', 'AuthenticateUser', 1, params=data)

Here's the traceback if you'd like to have a look:

I've solved the problem by adding this to the very beginning of my code:

from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all(thread=False)
