Syntax error when I try to run script about backup_tumblr HOT 7 CLOSED

Bother, the code box got rid of the line breaks. The chevron was pointing at the comma in "(*, blog" if that means anything.

from backup_tumblr.

If you do triple backticks (```), it preserves line breaks.

That * is a Python 3-only feature – can you send me the output of this command please?

$ python --version

from backup_tumblr.

Python 2.7.15rc1

Aha. I'm using the ubuntu terminal, and I guess it's still using 2 as the default. -_- So, to get the script to work, do I have to make it use python 3 manually?

from backup_tumblr.

Yeah, probably. Maybe try python3 --version?

from backup_tumblr.

It's working! I forgot to add python3 in front of the command, that was the problem! Glee! :D

So far things are looking good! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this script. (Is there a shortcut way on github of letting you know "I used this and it worked"?)
On a side note, you may want to add a reminder to the instructions that if your likes aren't public the script can't get them. I would have needed help with that one if not for the other issue that already covered it.

Leaving an issue with a “thank you” note is more than sufficient for me. Glad you’re finding it helpful! 😄

Yep, I meant to do that the first time, then forgot. I’ve added a note to the instructions, along with an explanation of how to make your likes public.

Since the script is working for you now, I’m going to close this issue. Please open a new issue if you have further problems.

Happy backups!
