ImportError: cannot import name 'InstagramSession"

[aricley]

When I run 'instagram-uploader.py' I receive an error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "instagram-uploader.py", line 27, in <module> from instagram import InstagramSession ImportError: cannot import name 'InstagramSession'

It's seems, you forget to checkout the submodule. Run in the instagram-uploader directory

git submodule init
git submodule update

[aricley]

I still get the error, I'll explain more. When I only run instagram-uploader.py I get this error: bash: instagram-uploader.py: command not found. If I run python instagram-uploader.py then I get the error I talked about. When I ran the commands you posted, I got this error: fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git. I read running git init would solve that error, in which it did - it added a .git folder. However, I'm not sure if those two commands did anything because I still get the 'ImportError'.

Checkout the complete repository with

git clone https://github.com/aboehm/instagram-uploader
cd instagram-uploader
git submodule init
git submodule update

It should run without errors. I tested it yesterday.

Here is my output:

Ok, the submodule url points to an alias, that can't be resolved. I have uploaded the correction. Retry it.

The commands gave no errors which is good. I ran python instagram-uploader.py and received this.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Which version of python-requests do you use? I'm running the uploader on Debian/stretch with python-requests v2.11.1-1.

[aricley]

Same as you, v2.11.1-1.
