Whenever I write and execute my code in PyCharm, everything runs smoothly. However, when I try to open the code in standard Python, an error occurs. Strangely, it works perfectly fine in PyCharm.
from selenium import webdriver
import time
import random
print("\n")
user_input = input("Username: ")
##########################################################
path = r"C:\Users\John\Desktop\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(path)
##########################################################
text_file = open(user_input + str(random.random()) + ".txt", "w")
text_file.write("GoogleSearch:\n\n")
##########################################################
print("Google results:\n")
driver.get("https://www.google.com/#q=" + user_input)
for n in range(20):
try:
driver.find_element_by_xpath("""//*[@id="pnnext"]/span[2]""").click()
except: print("out of pages")
pass
time.sleep(2)
posts2 = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("_Rm")
for post2 in posts2:
print(post2.text)
text_file.write(post2.text + "\n\n")
print("\n")
print("Pipl results:\n\n")
text_file.write("\n\n")
text_file.write("Pipl results:\n\n")
driver.get("https://pipl.com/search/?q=" + user_input + "&l=&sloc=&in=5")
posts1 = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("line1")
for post1 in posts1:
print(post1.text)
text_file.write(post1.text + "\n")
time.sleep(1)
driver.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
