Search returns IndexError

[bearsoup]

Thanks for making this available and for your continued work to get okcupyd functioning again. I should note before I continue that I'm not super well-versed in Python, but I do have a working knowledge of it. So thanks for your help and patience.

I've been working with some of the basic examples, but some things seemed to have stopped working in the past week or so. I noticed that as of recently searches return IndexError: list index out of range.

In [1]: import okcupyd

In [2]: session = okcupyd.Session.login()
u 
In [3]: u = okcupyd.User(session)

In [4]: profiles = u.search(location='San Jose, CA')

I tried this a little over a week ago and it seemed to be working. Here are the results from last time I saw it working correctly:

profiles = u.search(location='95064', gentation='everybody', looking_for='casual
    ...:  sex')

In [53]: for profile in profiles[:3]:
    ...:     for photo_info in profile.photo_infos:
    ...:         print(photo_info.jpg_uri)
    ...:

Thanks for your help any any insight you can offer.

It looks like they probably updated the position of the gender in the website.

It recently occured to me that okcupid MUST have a private api that they use for their mobile apps, so I think I'm going to try to migrate that when trying to get some of these details.

I also encountered this issue.

When would the update be available? I am encountering this issue and is desperate to try to solve it.

[colonelpanic8]

@tydlwav I honestly don't have plans to fix it myself, but I would welcome pull requests.

If you just want to try to get something working. You might want to try removing the gender[0] line. I suspect that search might still work.

[michaelmyc]

I'll see if I can find a way to get it to work. Thanks, though.
