Running YouTubeSpammerPurge.py on a Mac

[AudioKev]

Greetings,

While following the instructions specific to Mac OS, the following were encountered:

DEPRECATION: Configuring installation scheme with distutils config files is deprecated and will no longer work in the near future. If you are using a Homebrew or Linuxbrew Python, please see discussion at Homebrew/homebrew-core#76621

The previous "note" occurred 26 times while "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" executed. Does it mean that something did not install or install correctly? Might this be why the program failed, as shown below. (I used Homebrew for a previous project.)

When attempting to run the Purge program, the following was the result:

AudioKev@Mac-mini YT-Spammer-Purge-2.4.2 % python3 YouTubeSpammerPurge.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/.../Downloads/YT-Spammer-Purge-2.4.2/YouTubeSpammerPurge.py", line 43, in

File "/.../Downloads/YT-Spammer-Purge-2.4.2/gui.py", line 5, in
import YouTubeSpammerPurge as myFunctions
File "/.../Downloads/YT-Spammer-Purge-2.4.2/YouTubeSpammerPurge.py", line 54, in
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

pip3 install requests

Back from other projects.

I have yet to correct the issue; SpammerPurge remains inoperative on my Mac.

The latest problem:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement googleapiclient (from versions: none)

As an alternative, I successfully ran SpammerPurge on a notebook running Windows 10. Though this worked, I would still like to have it operational on my Mac.

First, don't run with sudo if you don't have to. Second, try installing the requirements again.

I appreciate your help!

Neither of the suggestions helped; pip3 install googleapiclient (without sudo) or an attempt to reinstall the files listed in the requirements.txt file (everything was "already satisfied."

Mystery ....

This is not what the module is called. You want google_api_python_client. Look into requirements.txt or use pip3 -r requirements to install the dependencies.

I think the option is to completely remove previous homebrew python (if you don't need it)
brew uninstall python3
maybe even uninstall all python3 installations and check python3 in command line doesn't work
