How do I get a Submission object given a post's title/url/id using the Python wrapper?

[john2x]

There doesn't seem to be a .get_submission(id='t3_xxxxx'). I'm trying to add it myself but I'm having a hard time figuring out how.

It would b really useful, I think. Right now the only way to get submissions is by either of the get_hot, get_top, etc. methods, which doesn't offer too much control.

Thanks in advance. :)

Hello,

I am having a hard time finding documentation on how to use the .get_submission_by_id.

My main goal is to be able to find the title of a submission from the ID. I was planning on using the feature above to get an instance of Submission, and getting the title that way, but I can't get .get_submission_by_id('39dnwge') to work. I've tried a few variations as well.

Any advice?

This is an old post from 2011 about a version of the client that has since not been in development for at least 4 years.

In modern PRAW, use Reddit.submission(id="39dnwge")
