hey sushant10,

i was working on my own "bot" as well for hq-trivia. I did not figure out how use the tesseract ocr, and ended up using goolge vision. i would like to test this out and maybe implement it on your version, since it is well developed. I will let you know of the results.

I get the error: "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/gp/qwhzqxhj3cbg3km5wch278140000gn/T/pip-build-lklrwb02/Google-Search-API/"

when I run pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Whenever I run the code, I get this error:

Where do I type 2nd step in python? Syntax Error everytime.

Guys, I set this all up and idk what step I'm doing wrong but the screenshot isn't reading the text properly. On some screenshots it picks up half the text and like choice A, on some it picks up nothing, and therefore it isn't really giving me proper answers either. Anyone have any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

So I can open the script and it runs, but when I press S and then Enter, it pops up with this

I am not sure, but I think it's saying that S is not bound to a line of code?

I'm getting an error for bs4. I've tried testing on the rest of the stuff, but it doesn't work for google or PIL. Here's the exact error message:

It would be great if you could help me with this issue, feel free to ask me for any more information you might need. The file is currently on my desktop, which is probably the reason that it can't find the modules. I'm on a macbook air. Thank you!

any help resolving this appreciated...

What about a fix for this issue #15

I finished step 2. And now I'm stuck. Could any one explain what to do after that step. I'm on a pc btw. Id like to see a tutorial or more detailed instructions. I don't even know how to run it, all I can do is test it and i get the error for bs4 that someone else had. So if someone could give links and some help that be great! I'd paypal some money if someone gets it working for me!

How do i install it on windows? Please help
