I'm trying python mechanize module in order to write some scripts. When i run it i get the following error.What actually is this set_handle_gzip ?
manoj@ubuntu:~/pyth$ python rock.py │
rock.py:15: UserWarning: gzip transfer encoding is experimental! │
br.set_handle_gzip(True) │
Traceback (most recent call last): │
File "rock.py", line 60, in <module> │
br.follow_link(text='Sign out') │
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mechanize/_mechanize.py", line│
569, in follow_link │
return self.open(self.click_link(link, **kwds)) │
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mechanize/_mechanize.py", line│
553, in click_link │
link = self.find_link(**kwds) │
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mechanize/_mechanize.py", line│
620, in find_link
raise LinkNotFoundError() │
mechanize._mechanize.LinkNotFoundError
and how can i overcome this error?
The gzip transfer encoding warning is generated because of the following line:
br.set_handle_gzip(True)
To remove the warning message, change True to False.
As for the error message, it is because your script is unable to find a link that reads 'Sign out' on the page that you're working with.
br.follow_link(text='Sign out')
Change the value of text in this line to the same value as is used on the page. That will solve your problem.
