1 year ago I can replicate this. Not really sure what's going on, the form is definitely still there and all.
This will take some additional digging with beautifulsoup, I'll try to get to it in the next few weeks.

1 year ago Unfortunately it appears recently KenPom has gone behind CloudFlare DDOS protection. Attempting a login with MechanicalSoup produces this response body:

1 year ago Setting MechanicalSoup to use an explicit User-Agent string seems to resolve this, at least for now (#25 raised)... although if the sensitivity on this mechanism is turned up at any time more evasive maneuvers may be required.
Hi Jared,
I unable to login to kenpom.com using your suggested login method: from kenpompy.utils import login browser = login(your_email, your_password)
After pip installing kenpompy and running the above code, I am seeing the attached error. I believe the problem is that the MechanicalSoup stateful_browser.py is not finding any forms on the kenpom site. I have written in a form counter into the stateful_browser.py select_form() function, and you can see the form count results at the top of the output attached.
Do you have any suggestions to resolve this issue?
I am really excited to use your kenpompy project! I am looking to develop a predictive model for the upcoming ncaab season, and your project had the exact kenpom.com web scrapper functions that I need!
Thank you in advance! Josh
