Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

My quickstart file code is below:

I"ve replaced my passode with #######

Hi @JennaDoll
It means,
requests module needs pyopenssl which needs cryptography module which itself needs enum module for enumerations and here is your bug at this stage,

_ASN1_TYPE_TO_ENUM = dict((i.value, i) for i in _ASN1Type) TypeError: 'type' object is not iterable

You don't have enum module available to use.

Starting from python 3.4, enum is part of the standard library, but for older pythons you have to install its third-party distribution- enum34 from pip.

And you have a python 2 🔄
Also, if you already have enum installed, uninstall it before installing enum34,

pip uninstall enum
pip install enum34

---

Also, I think you installed the packages from pip for python 3 (sudo pip install .) and then ran quickstart script using python 2 (python quickstart.py).
Make sure you are targeting the right python & pip versions.

---

Cheers 😁

@uluQulu Thanks for the help, I have uninstalled and tried to reinstall a few times and im still getting the same error. Im still getting the error below and I have done pip uninstall enum and pip install enum34 and command is returning that the Requirement is already satisfied. Would you happen to know what else i can do to troubleshoot this please. Thanks in advance.

_ASN1_TYPE_TO_ENUM = dict((i.value, i) for i in _ASN1Type) TypeError: 'type' object is not iterable cs-iMac:InstaPy cc$ pip install enum34 Requirement already satisfied: enum34 in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages (1.1.6)

Below is the whole code if that helps with troubleshooting.
