Merci beaucoup!

I followed your usage instructions but get the following error,

Traceback (most recent call last): File "omercy.py", line 43, in <module> from urllib.parse import urlparse ImportError: No module named parse

Maybe, you should use a recent version of python3 as this module was recently introduced in python standard lib.

Yes, I ran using python3. I also updated python3 to the version 3.7.

$ python3 -V
Python 3.7.3

$ python3 omercy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "omercy.py", line 42, in <module>
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

This seems similar to the errors I'm getting when trying to run calisuck.py. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've installed all dependancies you've listed, etc.

See my last answer on calisuck. You have to allow python3 and python2 coexisting

Solved - I needed to install python3-pip.

Thanks again!

I am getting this error. need help please
