Instapy: Don't follow users who you already sent an invitation

[aku6640]

Expected Behavior

Current Behavior

Now the script in session.follow_users_followers follows people, but when they don't accept your follow, the script later tries it again, sometimes up to alot of times when people get irritated.

Is there a way to set the number of following of 1 person to like 1 or 2 times max when they don't accept my invitation?

Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

Sure you can use times parameter for that reason,

set_do_follow(enabled=True, percentage=70, times=1)

_It will set max follow times as you wish_

It is not working good. I am getting daily messages of people why I am following and unfollowing them all the time!

@aku6640
How huge is your followRestriction.json file?
To have it work good you first have to keep that JSON healthy.

_Have a look at my PR #2086 which addresses that situation :)_

@uluQulu
thanks for your time again, I've read PR #2086 a few times but I couldn't find the solution.

is it this or am I not seeing it?

for follwedPool.csv,

from .util import interruption_handler

with interruption_handler():
with open('{0}{1}_followedPool.csv'.format(logfolder, login), 'a+') as followPool:
followPool.write('{} ~ {},\n'.format(logtime, followed))

add this?

It's a pleasure @aku6640
_followedPool.csv file has no relationship with you situation._
It is using the data kept in followRestriction.json file and #2086 is meant to bring safety to it.
