Python error str and None

[anance25]

Ubuntu 20.04
Python 3.8.10

Running into this issue when attempting to run spray365.

$ python3 spray365.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spray365.py", line 2, in <module>
    from modules.core.output import console
  File "/home/nancea/Spray365/modules/core/output/console.py", line 74, in <module>
    line_terminator: str | None,
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType'

EDIT to fix formatting

This is caused by Python versions < 3.10 not having the NoneType type constant.

I'll update the README to indicate Python3.10 is the recommended version.

And in the meantime, I'll add a patch to support our type checking that causes this issue in older Python versions.

@anance25 ,

This should be fixed in f475f73. Can you pull the latest version and retry?

@MarkoH17 i wasn't sure from your comment if i should pull again and try with 3.8.10, but i did. Slightly different error this time:

$ python3 spray365.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spray365.py", line 3, in <module>
    from modules.generate import generate

    client_id: tuple[str, str],
TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable

I ended up installing 3.10 from ppa on this ubuntu 20.04 box i was using and now its working. Again, not sure if the intent was to get versions as old as 3.8 working, but thanks for clarifying what was needed. You might also mention in the readme that ubuntu 20.04 does not want to work with python 3.10 out of the box, and it took some elbow grease to get that working.

@anance25,

My mistake! I thought I read you were using Python 3.9, so I intended to get it working for that version. I guess it is reasonable to try to get this working for Python 3.8, so I'll see what I can do about that.

Thanks for helping out with this. I'll circle back when I've made some progress.

@anance25,

Spray365 version 0.2.1-beta was released today. As of 20b8d2b, Spray365 should run in older Python 3 environments (3.7+). Can you pull the latest release and see if it works in your Python 3.8.10 environment?

[MarkoH17]

Just tested Spray365 v0.2.1-beta on Python 3.8.13, and it appears functional.

Closing this issue for now. Feel free to open a new one if you see any more compatibility issues.
