Mechanical Soup Error

[jamestamplin]

I also ran up against this error.

Fresh install of MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina
Fresh install of Homebrew / Python / Pip
Checked that I was running Python 3.9

I ran pipevn run python -m fb2cal and hit the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mechanicalsoup' error

I was able to get around this by running

pipenv install mechanicalsoup

Which then got past that error, but ended up with not finding the ics module, fixed that by running

pipenv install ics

...and Bob's your uncle, it worked.

Thanks for this great little script!

Hi,

I had the same issue on linux and windows, latest python3.
Was able to run the script, after manually installing the mechanicalsoup module with pip install mechanicalsoup and after that restarting the virtual environment.

Kind regards

[jamestamplin]

I did run pipenv install first (though, on second though, perhaps I ran it from the wrong directory). Sorry that's not more helpful.

That should have installed mechanicalsoup and ics based on the *requirements.txt* file. I have a Mac but can't reproduce this on mine. Maybe I'm misusing pipenv or its behaving differently on macos.

Confirming this on MacOSX Catalina 10.15.7, Python 2.7.16, PipEnv 2020.11.15, also, be sure to deactivate temporarily two-factor authentication on Facebook.

Hmm looks like it might be running with python 2 instead of python 3.6+?

Try:
pipenv run python3 /Users/.../Documents/git/fb2cal/src/fb2cal.py

[mobeigi]

Also are you sure you followed setup instructions correctly?
You have to run pipenv install first.

I have installed pipenv first. followed your instructions. tried running with python3

[mobeigi]

You don't need to run pipenv shell, just pipenv run directly.
That might not fix it though.

[batirch]

Could it be because of installed folder?

Hello, i've had the same exact issue. Any update?

[mobeigi]

@filmgeek5000 Are you also on a Mac? I am not able to reproduce the problem myself.

[filmgeek5000]

Yes I am on a Mac Mini running High Sierra

[mobeigi]

@filmgeek5000 I can't reproduce it myself on a Mac system so its a little hard to fix.

Are you using the latest version of the files?
Are you following the steps as listed in the readme?

[filmgeek5000]

yes

[mfvo]

I have the same issue :(

[mobeigi]

@mfvo Are you able to provide any more information about your system/environment? I cannot reproduce this issue myself so its hard to fix.

I have the last mac os software, I mean 10.15.6 and running Python 3.7

[viktorcsimma]

Try to change the active directory to the directory of the package, that helped me (I downloaded it into a zip file and then extracted it).

@jamestamplin

Did you run pipenv install first?
That should have installed mechanicalsoup and ics based on the requirements.txt file.

I have a Mac but can't reproduce this on mine.
Maybe I'm misusing pipenv or its behaving differently on macos. 🤔

Same issue on windows 11

Even the tests fail.
