ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

[kgoldmann]

When trying to run "python3 main.py" in the comic_dl directory on the macOS Terminal, I'm encountering the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/username/Downloads/comic-dl-master/comic_dl/main.py", line 10, in from comic_dl.version import version File "/Users/username/Downloads/comic-dl-master/comic_dl/comic_dl.py", line 6, in from .version import version ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Am I using the wrong syntax?

@kgoldmann

use /Users/username/Downloads/comic-dl-master/cli.py instead

or https://github.com/Xonshiz/comic-dl/releases/download/2022.04.23/comic_dl_osx could work

@darodi Thanks for this. cli.py worked for me, though any readcomiconline.li URLs just return 403 error. Maybe an issue with Cloudflare bypassing.

How does one use the OSX release?

How does one use the OSX release?

Looks like that OSX release might have to go because of Apple's new restrictions of running external executables. Use Python for now on OSX as well, please

Closing this as Darodi already mentioned every required info. Thanks again, Darodi :)
