Is this workflow still functional? I can't get it to work at all on Alfred 4, macOS Monterey

[tobycarson56]

This Alfred workflow sounds really useful But I haven't been able to get it to work on Alfred 4, macOS Monterey on multiple occasions. See attached screenshot of its Alfred debugging info below (I'm a noob when its comes to web developer/coding tools so I don't know where to go from there)

Working now all good mate

@tobycarson56 What did you do? I notice it is looking for /usr/bin/python while there only is /usr/bin/python3. I changed both workflow blocks to /usr/bin/python3 but that gives me another error.

I have no idea , Sorry. I just kept installing different versions of python on home brew and different releases of this workflow until it eventually worked.

I've now encountered the same problem and its completely non functional

[RandmTask]

Same doesn't seem to work for me. r/ briefly brings up the Browse reddit prompt before switching to 'Search Google'

[dalsvk]

bump, it's not working at all

[Deon588]

Apple removed Python 2.x which lead to this plugin breaking as it was written in Python 2.X. Hoping the author updates the code for Python 3...

[ratimator]

Is it working with Alfred 5? Since Monterey now has python3?

[jamby]

I would also like to see this working for Alfred 5.

[bsilvamm]

Me too!!

I can confirm if works now.

does not work with python 3

Code 1: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ashtonian/.sync/alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.2EF55EED-B8F9-4A57-AB42-7DEABF0331AB/reddit.py", line 35, in <module>
    from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'HTMLParser'

[ashtonian]

Script needs updating to work with python3, the core of this workflow in reddit.py doesn't need anything other than the htmlparser update to from html.parser import HTMLParser and then the info.plist command change to python3.

The issue is that this was built on a framework of sorts https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow which is dead and forked https://github.com/NorthIsUp/alfred-workflow-py3. Not sure the status of the fork with alfred 5 or if its just a drop in.

Then there is this https://github.com/alfredapp/updated-third-party-python2-workflows#readme which apparently offers tweaked versions of the workflows that will work by reinstalling pyton2 via https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/install-dependencies/ which uses homebrew under the hood. Which does work.

I ported this to Python 3 and Alfred 5 https://github.com/giovannicoppola/alfred-reddit/releases/latest
