If you run the bot for a while (i.e. overnight), it exits the program and returns this error. 

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Since the original above exception is now unknown, it will be possible to identify it and solve this issue when logging to a file will be implemented.

It's happening because vk.com requires user to input a CAPTCHA every once in a while. Since this bot can't recognize it, it asks for user input and user isn't always there.

One possible solution would be to add an email notifier to enter the CAPTCHA or something like that.
