Presently I'm trying to make MONKALOT run on a PythonAnywhere account (customized Web Developer). I have basic knowledge of Linux but unfortunately no knowledge of dev'oping python scripts but advanced knowledge of dev'oping Java (hope that helps).
My success log so far: After upgrading my account to Web Developer level I finally made pip download the (requirements)[https://github.com/NMisko/monkalot/blob/master/requirements.txt] and half the internet (2 of 5GB used). All modules and dependencies seem to be successfully installed.
I configured my own monkalot-channel including OAuth which serves as a staging instance for now. The next challenge was how to get monkalot starting up. Using python3.7 instead of python or any other python3 environment did the trick.
But now I'm stuck. After "completing the training stage" the monkalot-script prematurely ends with the following message:
[22:14] ...chat bot finished training.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "monkalot.py", line 72, in <module>
bots.append(TwitchBot(path))
File "/home/Chessalot/monkalot/bot/bot.py", line 56, in __init__
self.users = self.twitch.get_chatters()
File "/home/Chessalot/monkalot/bot/data_sources/twitch.py", line 25, in get_chatters
data = requests.get(USERLIST_API.format(self.channel)).json()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 900, in json
return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/simplejson/__init__.py", line 525, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)

return self.scan_once(s, idx=_w(s, idx).end())
simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
By now I figured out that monkalot tries to load the chatters list and expects at least an empty json array as result but actually seems to receive an empty string.
So my question is: What can I do to make the monkalot-script work? Is monkalot's current version incompatible to the current Twitch-API? Are there any outdated python libraries which may cause the incompatibility? Or is there an unrecognized configuration issue preventing the script from running successfully?
Thank you all in advance. Any ideas provided by you are highly appreciated.
After I expected the response, I found out that I received a HTTP 400, Bad Request error WITHOUT any data in the HTTP response body. Since monkalot expects a JSON answer the errors were raised. This was due to the fact that in the channel configuration I used an uppercase letter whereas Twitch expects all letters lowercase.
