I just installed the new version of the bot, I'm from pythonanywhere where the bot has always worked well, I'm in ultimate scheduler, in the file ultimate.py The only thing I add is "filter_users=False," and it appears The error, if I delete the "filter_users=False," works fine. I would like to know how I do to stop user filtering then.

Python 2.7.12

bot = Bot(filter_users=False,comments_file=config.COMMENTS_FILE,
          blacklist_file=config.BLACKLIST_FILE,
          whitelist_file=config.WHITELIST_FILE,
          friends_file=config.FRIENDS_FILE)
