Here's where it's throwing the error: https://github.com/rhiever/TwitterFollowBot/blob/master/TwitterFollowBot/__init__.py#L82

That's when it's trying to read the config file. Every entry in the config file should have a colon, :, in it to delineate the entry and the value. The config file you pasted looks fine, so not sure what's going on. Maybe you have a newline somewhere in the config file that you removed when pasting it here?

I fixed it! I had some whitespace atcthe end of the config file. Deleted it and it works fine now. Thanks for reacting so fast!
