Anybody know why I get the following error when using the winfrey bot?

ImportError: cannot import name 'BroadcastingError'

Used to work but quit working after I did an update to the steem libraries a while back.

I have been getting that error for a month now as well. I went on steemit-chat, and know one helped me out with that issue, actually no one responded to the question. I hope someone here can explain why there is a broadcasting error on all the bots that are released on steemit.

I think there is more wrong that that too. I tried removing the code that handled that error but then the bot never cast any votes. I think there were some fundamental changes in the newest version of the steem python libraries that broke this but I haven't seen a fix and I don't know how or if it is possible to go back to an older version. Anyone trying to follow instructions to install one of these bots and the necessary prerequisites today will not have success though.

The problem lies squarely with your version of python steem or piston.
You will need to uninstall them and install python steem version 0.3.1

pip3 install steem==0.3.1

Thanks! That fixed the problem. I figured that was the issue but I wasn't sure how to specify a specific version or which version to install.
