Error: get_proxy_list() missing 1 required positional argument: 'repeat'

[shaunster0]

When I try to run pg = ProxyGenerator() success = pg.FreeProxies()

I get this error "TypeError: get_proxy_list() missing 1 required positional argument: 'repeat'"

It also appears when I run the project tests straight after installation-

python3 -m unittest -v test_module.py test_luminati (test_module.TestLuminati) Test that we can set up Luminati (Bright Data) successfully ... skipped 'No Luminati credentials found.' ERROR ERROR test_scraperapi (test_module.TestScraperAPI) Test that we can set up ScraperAPI successfully ... skipped 'No ScraperAPI key found' test_tor_launch_own_process (test_module.TestTorInternal) Test that we can launch a Tor process ... skipped 'Tor executable not found'

A dependency of this package released a new minor version that broke backward compatibility! Try installing v1.0.6 of free-proxy instead of the more recent 1.1.0. There'll be a fix to scholarly soon that will work with the more recent version soon.

[arunkannawadi]

Just released v1.7.4 which should not have this error. It can be downloaded from Github right away, and should be available via pip and conda in a couple of hours. Leaving this issue open for now until we find a proper fix.

thanks @arunkannawadi!! Btw, I tested downgrading free-proxy to 1.0.6 as u suggested, and it seemed to fix the issue
