python bindings for akinator-rs

Akinator-py

Python bindings for akinator-rs, a wrapper around the undocumented akinator API, made using pyo3

designed for easy implementation of an akinator game in code, providing a simple and easy to use API.

Installation

Prebuilt wheels are uploaded onto pypi, if you platform is supported, you can install with:

$ py -m pip install akinator.py

You can also build from source yourself if you have rust installed

Examples

• refer to the tests for full examples on usage
• Refer to the documentation here for more information

akinator.py's Issues

Cant change the Language of the Game

If you start a Game using akinator.Akinator(theme=akinator.Theme.Characters, language=akinator.Language.German, child_mode=True) the Language is still English and not German (same for the async version)

`ValueError: Failed to parse JSON: expected value at line 1 column 1`

I am getting this error when trying to use it with disnake a discord.py alternative.
ValueError: Failed to parse JSON: expected value at line 1 column 1

Error when multiple users use the akinator command [async]

Result: Akinator game errored out:
Failed to parse JSON: expected value at line 1 column 1

code:
async def answer(self, message: str, interaction: discord.Interaction):
try:
await self.aki.answer(Answer.from_str(message))
except NoMoreQuestions:
await self.win(interaction)
except TimeoutError:
await self.cancel("The connection to the Akinator servers was lost.")
except Exception as error:
await self.edit_or_send(
interaction, content=f"Akinator game errored out:\n{error}", embed=None
)
self.stop()

Expected result: should work fine when two different games are started.

also I would like to take this opportunity to suggest if you could use aiohttp sessions and also allow us to pass our own session into the AsyncAkinator class

There is an error when requesting en.akinator.com

An error occurred: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='en.akinator.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)')))

It seems like akinator implemented more aggressive security

Language.from_str doesn't support German

akinator.Language.from_str throws the following when "de" or "german" is passed to it:

akinator.InvalidLanguage: Invalid language string

I don't know how this all works but believe this is an issue on the rust part of the wrapper, the following code has a line for all languages except German:

Using async runtime for sync functions are extremely inefficent

Hello Tom the Bomb,

Please reconsider your choice of using an async runtime to run async function in a sync context and instead use natively sync functions, which is using the sync feature of reqwest.

RuntimeError: Failed to find the required information needed to start the game

Just imported the module and copied the test_sync.py code. Did not alter anything.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "e:\test.py", line 53, in

first_question = aki.start_game()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RuntimeError: Failed to find the required information needed to start the game

Failed to parse JSON: expected value at line 1 column 1

Whenever I attempt to start the game by using aki.start_game(), I receive the following error message: Failed to parse JSON: expected value at line 1 column 1. This issue also persists when running the tests provided in this repository.

The complete error message is as follows:

Exception has occurred: ValueError
Failed to parse JSON: expected value at line 1 column 1
  File "H:\Sayoka\extensions\tmp.py", line 17, in test
    first_question = aki.start_game()

(This error occurs when running the test_sync.py file available in the akinator.py repository.)

invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer

When trying to use this Package, the following Error occurs:

RequestError: error sending request for url (https://en.akinator.com/): error trying to connect: invalid peer certificate contents: invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer
  File "H:\Sayoka\tmp.py", line 17, in test

    test()
RuntimeError: RequestError: error sending request for url (https://en.akinator.com/): error trying to connect: invalid peer certificate contents: invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer

This happens both in the sync and async version and in every language (at least in English and German)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

i am having an issue in this library
in my previous code which i wrote 2-3 years ago,it gave this error

--> 162 region_info = self._auto_get_region(get_lang_and_theme (language) ["lang"], get_lang_and_theme(language) ["theme"])

163 self.uri, self.server region_info["uri"], region_info["server"]

165 self.child_mode child_mode

File ~\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\akinator\akinator.py:117, in Akinator._auto_get_region(self, 1 ang, theme)

114 r requests.get("https://" + uri, verify=False)

116 match server_regex.search(r.text)

--> 117 parsed = json.loads(match.group().split("'arrUrl Themes ToPlay', ")[-1])

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

then i uninstalled the library and reinstalled it to be upto date with new version but it gave this error

now it gives the same error as jkace21 mentioned

Failed to find the required information needed to start the game

i think that the match.group() has some sort of abnormality in it and as you said they could have changed something , i think this is something where the changes have been made
or auto_get_region() could also have been changed.

Continue upon wrong guess.

Idk if I don't know this, but to be able to get the first_guess, it seems like you need to use aki.win(), which seems to end the game.

Is there any way to make it so that it asks if the answer is correct (after 80% progression), if answered with yes, it ends it, if not, it continues from WHERE IT LEFT (NOT restart), and reduces the progression. I want the usual things (The description, Name of the object/animal/character, and a picture of it) to be accessible as the first_guess without finishing the game. Thank you.

If you explain me if theres a method to do it, or if not, if you could add it, I would be very thankful!

Thanks!
