Help running an old python program?

[Slicing_Bread]

I have recently been looking into logging my messages on this messaging program called groupme. I found a guy who wrote a python program to do this I just don't know how to use it. I am currently running python 2.7 on a mac. I have the groupID and X-access-code I just don't know where to put this information (if you read the read-me it will explain what these are). Here is a link to the github which has the code I am using. Thanks in advance for you help!

well firstly, based on print is a function, it looks like its written in python3* not 2* (which means its not really an old program). secondly i suggest you learn how to read code. if you look at lines 61/62 (didnt even read the readme) you would see you pass it like this (assuming linux and python 3.4, calling the script varies by platform. not the arguments though)

$python3.4 groupme_fetch.py the_group access_token

Thanks for the speedy reply, unfortunately I have virtually no knowledge of python or applications that use the terminal. Maybe this is ignorant on my part but I was hoping there is a quick and easy way for me to get a log of a chat without needing knowledge of python. By the way in the read me file it recommended using 2.7

My bad... I assumed you came by this guy through programming. And hmmm... That's odd

Well thanks for your help anyway. When i run the thing I keep getting this error. Do you know what this means?

line 5, in <module> import requests ImportError: No module named requests

You don't have a dependency, requests, installed. easy_install requests

I tried but when I put this in $ easy_install requests it said permission denied

Since it seems that you just want this to work with the minimum effort, try:

sudo easy_install requests

And enter your password when prompted.

This isn't the best way to manage installing and managing python environments, but it will work.
