How do I use this? TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment - ejected - Mar-25-2019

form['user_password'] = config.DATACOUP_PASSWORD

I want to put my own password in there. WITHOUT the config.py file

So I want to just put the psasword directly into the script.

I tried these but they don't work:

form['user_login'] = myuser123

form['user_login'] = "myuser123"

form['user_login'] = 'myuser123'

I get this same error for all the above:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

Also bonus question: How do I import the config.py file? I can't simply do import config.py because it's not in the same directory. Is there a simple way to import it if its not in the same directory?

the variable form has been aligned to None, you don't show where form come from.

>>> form = None
>>> form['user_login'] = 'myuser123'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment
>>>

I used this:

>>> form = br.get_form()
>>> form['user_login'] = 'myuser123'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

It still gives the same error.

br.get_form()

is returning None
what is br, do you see a pattern here, if you don't reveal enough code we can't reveal an answer

Sorry, here is the entire code: I just took the link/user/pass info out

import re
import config

from robobrowser import RoboBrowser

br = RoboBrowser()
br.open("mylink.com")

form = br.get_form()
form['user_login'] = 'myuser'
form['user_password'] = 'mypass'
br.submit_form(form)

Try specifying which form you want. Currently, it looks like no forms are found.

Quote:

import re
from robobrowser import RoboBrowser

# Browse to Rap Genius
browser = RoboBrowser(history=True)
browser.open('http://rapgenius.com/')

# Search for Queen
form = browser.get_form(action='/search')
form                # <RoboForm q=>
form['q'].value = 'queen'
browser.submit_form(form)

I've never used robobrowser but i looked at the docs

Quote:get_form(id=None, *args, **kwargs)[source]
Find form by ID, as well as standard BeautifulSoup arguments.

Parameters: id (str) – Form ID
Returns: BeautifulSoup tag if found, else None

So no BeautifulSoup tag has been found, maybe you should be passing in some sort of argument for it to find something.

I did the same code but with facebook.com/login and it worked fine. I'm guessing it has something to do with the username input code part? Cause on facebook the input name/id are the same its: "email"

But the website im trying to put the input in they are different and the name has [login] inside the code...

This is the html part on the website:

<input class="form-control string required a-input db w-100 f16 ph3 ba bg-light-primary text br1 outline-0 bg-input input-reset mb3 pv08 lh-normal" type="text" autocomplete="on" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" autofocus="autofocus" placeholder="Nickname or Email" name="user[login]" id="user_login">

see how to name="user[login]" has [login] in it? Is that the problem?

I tried this:
form['user[login]'] = 'myuser'
form['user_login'] = 'myuser'

And neither are working. Maybe the problem is that the input name "user[login]" doesn't work because it has [ ] in it? Idk. I'm new to python would that be the problem?

Is there any other way to log into a site? Without using RoboBrowser?

Nvm found another way to do it. I used Selenium with XPATH to login.

Step 1 complete. :)

Now I gotta learn how to scrape it
