I am no expert, but I have used Python in a professional environment, and helped on board a Python newbie to build out his first project.

It would be helpful to know what your environment looks like (what OS you are running, Python version, terminal interface -- are you running cmd, powershell, terminal) and which steps prompts the reported error messages.

Starting from the first time running Python using a Windows computer, the first steps should be

Launch Powershell as admin and type in the following commands:

set-executionpolicy remotesigned

winget install python

mkdir python

cd python

python -m venv scraper

.\scraper\Scripts\activate

Following that you should be able to use pip to install more modules or packages. I have Visual Studio Code as my IDE, and that means from there I can also run code to open the text editor to write whatever code I intend to run. Be sure to save it to C:\Users\youruseraccount\python If your scripts are saved to that folder, you can run them from powershell by just typing in their filename. Any time you run scripts, open powershell and type cd python and then .\scraper\Scripts\activate Hit enter, then type in the name of the script you want to run.

This information dump is not the most detailed, but it should get you to the point that you can run your scripts.

Yo, remember when Disney gave EA exclusivity to Star Wars licensing, and for the duration of that exclusivity contract they rebooted one classic online multi-player shooter and then made a sequel that was one of the worst received games of the year and set the record for the highest dislike ratio on YouTube prompting Google to remove the dislike counter?

Apparently the Disney board doesn't. Maybe someone should remind them.

Not even any tie-in games for the sequel movies, just a DLC map.

"whether the women like it or not I'm going to protect them."

I see where the problem is. They simply misheard them. What he actually said was "I'm going to molest them." Easy mistake.

Conservatives. Shitting their pants to own the libs.

could hurt pedestrians and cyclists

I dare you to convince me that anyone still buying Tesla would not see that as a benefit. That's going to be the number one selling point of this thing after articles like this make their rounds.
