packtpub-downloader for python3 not working

[ranjennaidu21]

HI I have run the following code using python3: python3 main.py -e <myemail> -p <mypassword> -d ~/Desktop/packt -b pdf

getting this issue, but my email and password was correct. It have $ symbol for the password but it should not be the issue right ? anyone face this issue before ?

Error login,  check user and password
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 226, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "main.py", line 195, in main
    user = User(email, password)

    self.header["Authorization"] = self.get_token()
  File "/home/ranjen/softwares/packtpub-downloader-master/user.py", line 39, in get_token
    print("Error {}".format(e))
NameError: name 'e' is not defined

Hi @ranjennaidu21, I would try putting single quotes (') around your username and password. Let me know if that still gives you an error.

@BurnhamG same error for me. With quotes also.

Despite that e is nowhere declared, the main problem (after declaring e) is authorization with pactpub api which now also requires captcha. I think the only way now is to implement a popup which will prompt user captcha answer.
