Same issue here, fresh install on Ubuntu 20.04 shows the same error.

ImportError: cannot import name 'CeilTimeout' from 'aiohttp.helpers' (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/aiohttp/helpers.py

[koboskom]

got same issue, in file /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/aiohttp_socks/connector.py comment line 8 "from aiohttp.helpers import CeilTimeout # noqa", it works fine afterwards

To fix it you must to have fixed version on aiohttp.
Edit requeriments.txt with aiohttp==3.7.0

[devilliers13]

Thanks! that has fixed it.

[Moham-AT]

To fix it you must to have fixed version on aiohttp. Edit requeriments.txt with aiohttp==3.7.0

it works, thanks!

It stil didn't change anything. First of all I uninstalled my aiohttp then I installed with aiohttp==3.7.0 but error didn't change.

[wjd157]

Changing aiohttp to aiohttp==3.7.0 in the .txt file did not fix the issue for me either.

[danielleschn]

Didn't work for me either, unfortunately.

[josx]

@danielleschn @wjd157 @cihanicelliler make sure you did pip3 install . -r requirements.txt after changing requirements file from a dependency free environment. It seems that pip will not downgrade your version if it finds a newer version present.

Or maybe you can do pip install aiohttp==3.7.0 directly to test it out.

pip install aiohttp==3.7.0 directly didn't work. But doing a pip3 install . -r requirements.txt after changing aiohttp to aiohttp==3.7.0 works

[soukainaElGhaldy]

Fixed this problem by installing directly aiohttp module on my environment using : conda install aiohttp ! you can usepip install aiohttp

[cracker8090]

conda install aiohttp

The version of aiohttp is 3.7.0? my aiohttp is 3.8.1 and errors still exist.

[danielleschn]

Didn't work for me either, unfortunately.

Okay the issue was that I needed to make sure I was installing it in the correct place and then rebuild the docker container, haha.

[soukainaElGhaldy]

So Conda environments (also python env) seems to have issues with twint config. So Tried on CLI. what worked for me is what @josx suggested so first I changed aiohttp to aiohttp==3.7.0 in my requirements.txt then pip3 install . -r requirements.txt and then scrap with for example my twint -s bitcoin -- since "2021-11-23 11:00:58" worked fine.
Thank you again @josx !

[taohuadaohongye]

uninstall the aiohttp 3.8 and install aiohttp3.7
command :pip show aiohttp
you will see the aiohttp version is 3.8
command:pip uninstall aiohttp
done,command pip install aiohttp==3.7.0
it will work !

[Icebrey]

thanks mate, it works

[adamlesniak]

Hey,

Just tried to run this project and wasn't able to - provided a fix in #1323 - could be good to have it in master for anyone that just tries to use it out of the box.

Thanks,
Adam

How to edit requirements.txt in aiohttps? Any youtube video on it?

It's just a file - you can find detailed instructions here:

Or you can clone my fork and it covers this update: https://github.com/adamlesniak/twint

[pragyakarki]

Thank you @josx . Came across this issue while trying to run twint in Github Actions with latest ubuntu version.

[RajaKathireshh]

First install this in a separate cell pip install aiohttp==3.7.0
then install !pip3 install --user --upgrade -e git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint
now import twint
It's working fine for me and I'm able to crawl data.

If still not working, restart the runtime and follow the same order. Sometimes restarting the runtime after installation works.

[KlausGlueckert]

same error, chaning to aiohttp==3.7.0 solved it

The last bit fixed it for me
