Two ways to generate random UA, use 'fake-useragent' module, which is reound_FAKE_UA.py or use a list of UA, which is user_agent and random choice in rebound.py

I have altered your code a bit for my own use, but this function is still from your source code and I don't think I caused the error. It worked two weeks ago, and I tried running it yesterday without any changes in the past two weeks and it's broken now. Did stack overflow change something breaking the search?

Using search_stackoverflow(query) with a query of "python nltk tokenize" I get an error inside the function, get_search_results(soup),

Here's an excerpt of the traceback,

 in get_search_results
title_container = result.find_all("div", class_="result-link")[0].find_all("span")[0].find_all("a")[0]                                                                                                                                   
IndexError: list index out of range         

There are values in results, and result.find_all("div", class_="result-link")[0], but result.find_all("div", class_="result-link")[0].find_all("span") returns none so index zero doesn't exist hence the error.

Did something change, if so what needs to be changed to get it working again?

Hi there, I am very interested in your work and tried it on my Windows 10 box. Unfortunatly there seems to be some issues related to the close_fds working on Windows?

Also tried with powershell and cmd, both without any luck :-(

Trying to change the argument from True to False :

def execute(command):

    terminal (in real-time)."""
    process = Popen(
        command,
        cwd=None,
        shell=False,
        close_fds=False,  # does not work
        stdout=PIPE,
        stderr=PIPE,
        bufsize=1
    )

won't solve the problem. Something else will crash it:

I am not familar with close_fds as of writing. And to make it worse I happen to find that urwid is not supported on windows (see here, here and here)

Maybe you may declare in the README.md that the fancy program currently not supported on Windows?

Instead of executing files with the rebound command, I think it would be more user-friendly to execute the file normally, get a compiler error, and then type rebound to fetch that error and display the CLI. For example, the Python workflow would be:

1. Run $ python test.py
2. Program fails and returns an error message
3. User runs $ rebound to prompt the CLI

I tried installing rebound by following the instructions in the readme as well as variations I compiled from looking online. After all of these I was unable to call "rebound" from the command line on a linux machine.

I tried the following installation commands: pip install rebound-cli pip3 install rebound-cli (with and without --user) sudo apt-get install rebound-cli git clone repo followed by python3 setup.py install (with and without --user) I verified that pip and urwid are up to date.

After all of this I get the 'rebound: Command not found.' error no matter where in the directory i try to run it from

Changed the user agent to be the same when searching for results, instead of a different UA for every result. This fixes captcha triggering right at the start, but running the program 2-3 times in a row will trigger it again. That's why it is a semi-fix, further analysis is required, but for now, this is a step to the right direction.

Also, I cleaned up the code and fixed some Anti-Pattern issues.

I am also trying to use Googlebot's UA, because sometimes it fixes the issue. For now, this should do it.

Thank you :)

I am using ubuntu 20.04 LTS and python 3.8.2. when I was testing rebound on a simple python script I got two error.

1. the first issue occurs just after the command runs, Its seems like some problem with python but I am not sure.
2. when I choose y I got the questions from StackOverflow but when I enter to see the answer it breaks and second error occurs. the output is attached below.

Currently there is no error handling for the Stack Overflow get request in the souper function. If the requests.get function throws an exception rebound just crashes.

Changed this by putting the requests.get call in a try except block and adding a friendly error message if the requests.get call throws an exception.

Fetches results from Google with stackoverflow.com tag and a little bit of code refactoring. 2 new dependencies have been introduced into the package.

I see this is MIT licensed. Adding a LICENSE file to the root directory would make this very obvious for people new to the project and show up in the About header on the first page view of the project.

Would you like me to make a PR to move the file?

mv docs/LICENSE LICENSE

Hi,

First of all, this is a really cool project!

I just started using rebound-cli, I'm on Windows and I've installed cygwin, however when I run a script i get the following error:

c:\users\fredb\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\subprocess.py:844: RuntimeWarning: line buffering (buffering=1) isn't suppor

The script is just a simple example:

x = 5
y = 10
x += y
print(x)

I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong

I am a new user of rebound, I have just installed it today ( via pip ).

I am getting this every time:

Sorry, Stack Overflow blocked our request. Try again in a minute.

I am running on Ubuntu 20.04, and I have made sure that I have proper internet connectivity.

Hi!

After I look through the code, I have a few ideas which can be put into the rebound project. This include:

• Replacing in view answer function by using lynx ( Text-based browser GUI)
• Putting create barcode function which able the user to share the solution link to other user
• Save the solution link in the history or record, so the user can check again the previous selected link

Please let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!
