Python Instagram ImportError: No module named 'bind'

Question

Here is my code:

#!/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from instagram.client import InstagramAPI

api = InstagramAPI(client_id='########', client_secret='######')
popular_media = api.media_popular(count=20)
for media in popular_media:
    print (media.images['standard_resolution'].url)

ive hidden cliend_id here as well as client_secret. when i run it i get the following error:

(insta1)pk@pk-900X3C-900X3D-900X4C-900X4D:~/Work/insta1$ python3 project1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "project1.py", line 4, in <module>
    from instagram.client import InstagramAPI
  File "/home/pk/Work/insta1/lib/python3.3/site-packages/instagram/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from bind import InstagramAPIError, InstagramClientError
ImportError: No module named 'bind'

actually the module named bind.py is inside the instagram folder mentioned in the path so i don't understand what is wrong here.

The system is kUbuntu and python v is 3.3 as you can see from the error log. I am running my code in virtualenv with virtualenv 'insta1' set up but there is the same error when i try to run this kind of code without virtualenv.

I am new to python and am already struggling with this issue for 2 days already. please help.

Answer 1

This Instagram client library does not support Python 3.

You can try to repair that imports by substituting from bind import ... with from .bind import ... in instagram/__init__.py and other files, but then you will probably have other problems.

But if you fix them and upload to Github, that would be great :)
