Script won't pull photos

[Fahrenheit]

I attempted to use the command suggested and have tried to pull other things however I always get this error. It creates the necessary folders, but won't grab any of the photos. Not quite sure how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated!

`flickr_scraper` % python3 flickr_scraper.py --search 'honeybees' --n 10 --download           
Traceback (most recent call last):

@Fahrenheit script works correctly, just tested it today 16 January 2021 in a Colab notebook.

Odd, I still can't get it to work.

@Fahrenheit are you using the Flickr API key and secret as in the README instructions?

Yes, I am. I'll try a new API key and see if that works.

I think this might be related to the deprecation of getchildren in Python 3.9. See https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.getchildren.

@guillaumedavidphd thanks for the info! We don't use this in ultralytics/flickr_scraper but I see it is used in the flickrapi package.

@Fahrenheit perhaps downgrading your python to 3.8 might solve this?

Hi i did help with someone with this error on python-forum.io
First show how to run Python 3.8 in environment with py(no need to downgrade)

# Make environment with Python 3.8 
G:\div_code\py -3.8 -m venv flick38_env  

Then i looked at error.
In core.py line 690.

#photoset = rsp.getchildren()[0]  
photoset = list(rsp)[0] # Fix for Python 3.9

Test with Python 3.9
