ImportError: No module named_vendor

[DataBass504]

First off thank you for all your hard work, I'm having issues getting the script to run after installation on my RPi3 using Raspbian (Jessie) when I run the command in terminal:

pi@databass:~ $ cd instabot/examples pi@databass:~/instabot/examples $ python multi_script_CLI.py 2017-05-05 10:41:35,557 - INFO - Instabot Started 2017-05-05 10:41:35,558 - INFO - Multi script run Traceback (most recent call last): File "multi_script_CLI.py", line 131, in print('INSTABOT VERSION: %s ' % bot.version()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot/bot.py", line 133, in version from pip._vendor import pkg_resources ImportError: No module named _vendor

Everything appeared to install correctly, I have both python 2 & 3 installed on my system.

pip install -U pip

Maybe this will solves the problem.

@sudoguy This did not solve my issue, I actually tried this before posting. pi@databass:~/instabot $ sudo pip install -U pip Downloading/unpacking pip from https://pypi.python.org/packages/b6/ac/7015eb97dc749283ffdec1c3a88ddb8ae03b8fad0f0e611408f196358da3/pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=297dbd16ef53bcef0447d245815f5144 Downloading pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.3MB): 1.3MB downloaded Installing collected packages: pip Found existing installation: pip 1.5.6 Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS Successfully installed pip Cleaning up... pi@databass:~/instabot/examples $ python multi_script_CLI.py 2017-05-05 12:16:17,861 - INFO - Instabot Started 2017-05-05 12:16:17,863 - INFO - Multi script run Traceback (most recent call last): File "multi_script_CLI.py", line 131, in print('INSTABOT VERSION: %s ' % bot.version()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot/bot.py", line 133, in version from pip._vendor import pkg_resources ImportError: No module named _vendor pi@databass:~/instabot/examples $

@DataBass504, perhaps this can fixes your problem

[DataBass504]

I understand what you want me to do but i'm getting permission denied, how can i edit the file through terminal? Sorry I'm somewhat new too linux.

You want me to add:

     try:
        from pip._vendor import pkg_resources
    except ImportError:
        import pkg_resources

to the bot.py file on line 134 in the "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot" directory correct? to the

I was able to get past premissions using sudo nano, here is what im getting now: pi@databass:~/instabot/examples $ python multi_script_CLI.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "multi_script_CLI.py", line 7, in from instabot import Bot File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/init.py", line 2, in from .bot import Bot File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot/init.py", line 1, in from .bot import Bot File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot/bot.py", line 134 try: ^ IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

[sudoguy]

Before try and except there must be 8 whitespaces. Check again pls

[DataBass504]

Ok, I went back & corrected the spacing now im getting this:

pi@databass:~/instabot/examples $ python multi_script_CLI.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "multi_script_CLI.py", line 7, in from instabot import Bot File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/init.py", line 2, in from .bot import Bot File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot/init.py", line 1, in from .bot import Bot File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/instabot/bot/bot.py", line 135 from pip._vendor import pkg_resources ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block

[sudoguy]

Must be like here. 12 white spaces before from and import.

[DataBass504]

Ok, I did notice on the other lines I used tabs so I corrected that as well. That did the trick, everything is working correctly now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
