Docker installed, but "no module named docker"

[ewebgh33]

Hi
Tried to set this up today on Win11. So far everything seems to have installed. I already have Docker Desktop.

However I'm hitting a wall trying to run a simple scrape (the example from github on the main page).
Running the .py, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Scraping\nitter_scraper\test.py", line 3, in <module>
    from nitter_scraper import NitterScraper
  File "c:\Scraping\nitter_scraper\nitter_scraper\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from nitter_scraper.nitter import NitterScraper
  File "c:\Scraping\nitter_scraper\nitter_scraper\nitter.py", line 8, in <module>
    import docker
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'docker'

Which is weird because I've literally just run pip install docker, as well as already having desktop.

Any tips here appreciated. Version mismatch? I ran into an earlier issue where I couldn't pip install nitter_scraper because it didn't like python=3.11. Am now running 3.8. But perhaps it also wants an older docker?

OK I can see now that it's different version to that listed in pyproject.toml.

Then again, instructions on main page of this repo didn't say anything about needing a poetry install. So.

pip install poetry
poetry install

a couple of errors here

Cannot install pytest-sugar.
  • Installing pytest-watch (4.2.0): Failed
  FileNotFoundError
  [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\HESPEROS\\miniconda3\\envs\\nitterscraper\\lib\\site-packages\\virtualenv\\activation\\nushell\\activate.nu'
  at <frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>:1048 in open_resource
Cannot install pytest-watch.

Still can't find docker. So maybe I need to start over and set up the env with 3.7, not 3.8?
And then pip install docker, pip install poetry, poetry install.... ?

I don't know what am I missing here.

[ewebgh33]

Progress
Deleted the env, and re-created it with python=3.7.
Had to manually run pip install markupsafe==2.0.1 because that was the next error I came up against.

Now a new error.
It looked like it started to spin up docker

Now I get these errors

So my conclusion is this thing is just old and doesn't work any more.
Is this true?
Does anyone have this running, like today?

I got to the same place of you with a slightly different error:

do you make some progress ?

@estebanlm I gave up on Nitter as I found a few places around the web to get sets of free monthly API calls. Search google for API sites and see a) what gets you a free account (not all will offer that) and b) what services they connect to. Some will do twitter and give a few hundred API calls a month. This is more than enough for my purposes, and I don't need to muck around with a Nitter instance or docker any more - I just call with Python and Requests

[estebanlm]

:( sadly I can not do that, I will continue digging and see if I can make a PR (highly unlikely, I am very new to python ;)
