hello,I encountered such a problem with "virtualenv"： source belati/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt python Belati.py

Traceback (most recent call last): File "Belati.py", line 38, in from plugins.banner_grab import BannerGrab File "/Belati/plugins/banner_grab.py", line 24, in from url_request import URLRequest File "/Belati/plugins/url_request.py", line 26, in from user_agents import UserAgents File "/Belati/plugins/user_agents.py", line 25, in ua = UserAgent() File "/Belati/belati/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fake_useragent/fake.py", line 69, in init self.load() File "/Belati/belati/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fake_useragent/fake.py", line 78, in load verify_ssl=self.verify_ssl, File "/Belati/belati/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fake_useragent/utils.py", line 252, in load_cached update(path, use_cache_server=use_cache_server, verify_ssl=verify_ssl) File "/Belati/belati/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fake_useragent/utils.py", line 247, in update write(path, load(use_cache_server=use_cache_server, verify_ssl=verify_ssl)) File "/Belati/belati/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fake_useragent/utils.py", line 189, in load verify_ssl=verify_ssl, File "/Belati/belati/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fake_useragent/utils.py", line 84, in get raise FakeUserAgentError('Maximum amount of retries reached') fake_useragent.errors.FakeUserAgentError: Maximum amount of retries reached

I tried some methods, but I didn't succeed.

[aancw]

Just try again and see if that fixed the problem. Maximum amount of retries reached

[hellochunqiu]

No. the same result, should I delete "virtualenv"? From the new arrangement

[aancw]

Reference to this issue https://github.com/hellysmile/fake-useragent/issues/53 Make sure you have openssl and no ssl problem as mentioned on that issue.

[hellochunqiu]

ImportError: cannot import name UserAgent

[hellochunqiu]

I already have "pip install useragent"

[WichitaLifeICT]

@aancw @hellysmile which file do you address the ssl certs in?

‘’’python from fake_useragent import UserAgent ua = UserAgent(verify_ssl=False) ‘’’

[aancw]

Maybe this problem occurred because i'm not using verify_ssl=False

[hellochunqiu]

Yes, you are right. My problem is that he will automatically upgrade to "pip-10" after using "virtualenv". It is wrong and incompatible. By breaking the net to work in "pip-9", these problems can be solved, thank you.

[aancw]

But, if you are using verify_ssl=false at user_agents.py, it still not working?

[hellochunqiu]

Did you install "Libcurl14-openssl-dev" when installing dependency?

[aancw]

I'm using ArchLinux btw

[hellochunqiu]

OK, the problem is solved. This is caused by the problem of dependence and the latest environmental problems of "Python". To install dependencies and reduce versions, "pip10" is not compatible.

At the same time, I think many beginners do not understand "dependence", but grow up in solving problems.

Fortunately, there are "Google" and "you" and "everyone".

[hellochunqiu]

And happy to know you

[aancw]

Happy to know you too. If you have any question, feel free to open issue. Pull request is welcome ❤️

[hellochunqiu]

Thank you

has anyone found a solution to this?? fake_useragent.errors.FakeUserAgentError: Maximum amount of retries

[ryanbrewster124]

ok this fixed it for me: pip install fake-useragent --upgrade

[hellysmile]

hey there, pip install -U fake-useragent should fix issue

[aancw]

@ryanbrewster124 If you encounter this problem again, please be patient to wait for queue. I think fakeuseragent limiting request from per IP.

[impankajnegi]

Please check if u have a fast internet

[Foreveri02]

hey there, pip install -U fake-useragent should fix issue

thanks bro
