./start.sh Crashed

Hi, I try start after install and receive:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax Whatsapp bot crashed with code 1. Respawning.. Traceback (most recent call last): File "run.py", line 9, in from app.layer import MacLayer File "/Users/mauricio/Documents/GitHub/whatsapp-framework/app/init.py", line 1, in import modules File "/Users/mauricio/Documents/GitHub/whatsapp-framework/modules/init.py", line 1, in from modules.hihelp import hihelp File "/Users/mauricio/Documents/GitHub/whatsapp-framework/modules/hihelp/hihelp.py", line 1, in from app.mac import mac, signals File "/Users/mauricio/Documents/GitHub/whatsapp-framework/app/mac/mac.py", line 278 async=True) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Thanks for any help

Same here, that first error can be fixed by removing the async=True, however, the error is in yowsup as this follows:

File "/Users/jafrancov/dev/python/whatsapp-bot/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yowsup2-2.5.2-py3.7.egg/yowsup/layers/protocol_media/mediauploader.py", line 19
    def __init__(self, jid, accountJid, sourcePath, uploadUrl, resumeOffset = 0, successClbk = None, errorClbk = None, progressCallback = None, async = True):

It looks like async is now a reserved word in Python 3.7+

Hi!

The issue is related to the Python version. It should be 3.5.0. Just follow the next steps:

• install pyenv: brew install pyenv
• install python 3.5.0: pyenv install 3.5.0
• set this in your .bashrc or .zshrc eval "$(pyenv init -)"
• Open a new terminal tab and set python global version: pyenv global 3.5.0
• clean previous setup: sudo ./clean.sh
• Re-run the setup script sudo ./setup.sh
• register your number and follow the readme instructions
• Run the server sudo ./start.sh

Hope it helps.

Any idea?

Oh nevermind, i installed the dateutil package with pip install python-dateutil and it works! Thanks!
