Incomplete read

[zyzzando]

Hi timur, recently your great script give me an incomplete read error very often. This error close the script. The error in on line: html = response.read() Are there any workaround for this error?

Well, since the login stuff changed, the script is generally broken now. An error from response.read() means the low-level HTTP fetch failed, and there's not much I can do about that. When I run the script now, I'm seeing this:

Fri Dec  1 15:39:30 CST 2017
Using BeautifulSoup version 4.2.1
Using mechanize version 0.2.5
No handlers could be found for logger "fake_useragent"
Please install or update the fake_useragent package from
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fake-useragent
Maximum amount of retries reached

And the script just aborts. I suggest you stop using the script until I can patch it.

On amazon it, the script still works but as I said it fails very ofted due this type of error. Are you saying that on amazon usa it does not work at all?

It looks like Amazon USA is switching to a two-step login, where first they ask for your email, then you hit submit, and then on a second page, they ask for your password. But this doesn't happen all the time.

In this case on amazon.it is the same!
