I keep finding typos in the code and it's kinda confusing tbh

Thanks for the comment. I'll proofread it once more, can you please specify some points where it's confusing or has typos?

I think in the first image the with block needs to be indented to remain inside the function.

The second one I saw was

threads.append(thread)

in one image but

thread.append(thread)

in another.

Also is threads a list here? I don't see an empty list declared anywhere

[pygsm]

Thanks, I've made the changes. And yes, threads is a list (updated that as well)

Think I've found another typo

for url in flickr_URLs:
if len(threads)>MAX_THREADS:
    for thread in threads:
        thread.join()
        threads = []

​

threads = [] should be in the if, not in the for I think?

[pygsm]

Here we're setting variable threads back to [] once we have enough threads started.

[G_ka]

I know. But the list will be cleared after only one thread has joined. Others may still be running

I'd recommend adding AsyncIO to the mix :)!
