ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

[rogersillyface]

Hey There,

I'm trying to use an old Instapy qucikstart file for likes and trie to combine it with the sole qiuickstart guide in the documentation.

It spits back this:

from .utilities import LoggerConstants, Utility

ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

It looks like theres an issue with the first llne of the instapy file.. but I haven't touched that so no idea what the issue could be.

Quickstart (edited):

from instapy2 import InstaPy2 from instapy2.types import CommentType

create a new session

session = InstaPy2()

login to your account

session.login(username='', password='')

enables commenting

session.configuration.comments.set_enabled(enable=False)

set the list of comments to use

session.configuration.comments.set_comments(comments=[ 'wow', # this is a normal comment 'wow :thumbsup:', # this is a comment with an emoji 'wow {}', # this is a comment tagging the user ])

0-100, higher means higher change of commenting (per media)

session.configuration.comments.set_percentage(percentage=55)

this will comment on 10 media from the pk above

session.comment(amount=10, iterable=[pk], type=CommentType.Locations)

let's go! :>

with smart_run(session):

settings

session.set_user_interact(amount=3, randomize=True, percentage=100,
                          media='Photo')
session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True,
                                potency_ratio=None,
                                delimit_by_numbers=True,
                                max_followers=30000,
                                max_following=9000,
                                min_followers=50,
                                min_following=5)
session.set_simulation(enabled=False)
session.set_do_like(enabled=True, percentage=100)

session.interact_user_likers(usernames=[]),
random.shuffle(interact_user_likers(usernames),
posts_grab_amount=1-4,
interact_likers_per_post=550,
randomize=True) 

session.set_ignore_users([])
session.set_do_comment(enabled=False, percentage=35)
session.set_ignore_if_contains(['death', 'RIP', 'sad', 'rain', 'depression', 'memorials', 'deaths', 'accidents'])
session.set_action_delays(enabled=True, like=40)

# activity
interact_user_followers([],
random.shuffle(interact_user_followers),
amount=340)

Hey @rogersillyface, sorry for the delay. InstaPy2 is not a 1:1 copy of InstaPy meaning any template from their quickstart folder likely won't work. I don't know the usage stats of my tool but if enough people want I'll spend some time to make working quickstart examples.

Hey @official-antique ! Yeah I ralised that, I did try a while ago (and again after reading that somebody had used an old script).

The script in the documentation, which is what i was referencing at the begining with the line one issue, doesn't appear to work either. I don't know what i could have done wrong.

For reference it is thus script:

from instapy2 import InstaPy2 from instapy2.types import CommentType

create a new session

session = InstaPy2()

login to your account

session.login(username='', password='')

this will ask you to select a place

pk = session.configuration.location.get_pk(query='place name here')

enables commenting

session.configuration.comments.set_enabled(enable=True)

set the list of comments to use

session.configuration.comments.set_comments(comments=[ 'wow', # this is a normal comment 'wow :thumbsup:', # this is a comment with an emoji 'wow {}', # this is a comment tagging the user ])

0-100, higher means higher change of commenting (per media)

session.configuration.comments.set_percentage(percentage=100)

this will comment on 10 media from the pk above

session.comment(amount=10, iterable=[pk], type=CommentType.Locations)

Again, for reference, the error is:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/instapy2/Instapy2-Comments.py", line 1, in from instapy2 import InstaPy2 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/instapy2/instapy2.py", line 1, in from .utilities import LoggerConstants, Utility ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

Thanks very much for getting this off the ground!

Hey @official-antique,

Stupid question.. The Quickstart references LoggerConstants here in Terminal:

.utilities import LoggerConstants, Utility

BUt there is no file called LoggerConstants?

Just something I noticed and thought I'd ask.

EDIT: No rush.
