invalid decimal literal

[jpg0203]

I'm encountering a SyntaxError: invalid decimal literal error and could use some assistance in understanding and resolving the issue. The error arises from a call to ast.literal_eval() with the string "(e trade cookie )". While investigating, I'm unsure why Python is attempting to interpret this string as a decimal literal. If you could provide any insights or suggestions on how to address this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it. i may just be being dumb here but i cant seem to figure this out.

here is the log im getting

from utils.list_accounts import get_account_list Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/jpg02/etradebot/utils/list_accounts.py", line 13, in etrade_cookie = ast.literal_eval(keyring.get_password("etrade", "etrade_cookie")) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/jpg02/anaconda3/envs/etradebot/lib/python3.11/ast.py", line 62, in literal_eval node_or_string = parse(node_or_string.lstrip(" \t"), mode='eval') ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/jpg02/anaconda3/envs/etradebot/lib/python3.11/ast.py", line 50, in parse return compile(source, filename, mode, flags, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "", line 1 "(cookie)" ^ SyntaxError: invalid decimal literal

thank you

If you received a valid cookie from E-Trade customer service, it should look something like this:

{'name': 'SWH', 'value': 'GRDKRORF5-he5abv74-25oj', 'domain': '.etrade.com', 'secure': True, 'httpOnly': True}

You would then use keyring to store locally on your computer:

import keyring
keyring.set_password("etrade", "etrade_cookie", "{'name': 'SWH', 'value': 'GRDKRORF5-he5abv74-25oj', 'domain': '.etrade.com', 'secure': True, 'httpOnly': True}"

keyring can only saves your cookie as a string, but the cookie is given to you in the form a dictionary, like this -> {key, value} -> so you must save it to keyring wrapped with quotation marks like the example above. Try that out to see if fixes your error.

E-Trade added two-factor authentication by phone to the login process. This is causing the automatic login feature of ETradeBot to break. I have since deprecated the ETradeBot project, as, even if I found a workaround, E-Trade would likely just change something else within a few weeks. This has been the pattern. I have decided to work on other trading bots for platforms that are much more friendlier to developers of algorithmic trading programs such as Alpaca.

I appreciate your interest, and please follow me on GitHub so you are the first to know when I've released my next trading bot program.
