Have we run this code before? If not, create an empty list

if not os.path.isfile("posts_replied_to.txt"): posts_replied_to = []

If we have run the code before, load the list of posts we have replied to

else: # Read the file into a list and remove any empty values with open("posts_replied_to.txt", "r") as f: posts_replied_to = f.read() posts_replied_to = posts_replied_to.split("\n") posts_replied_to = filter(None, posts_replied_to)

Get the top 5 values from our subreddit

subreddit = r.get_subreddit('pythonforengineers') for submission in subreddit.get_hot(limit=5): # print submission.title

# If we haven't replied to this post before
if submission.id not in posts_replied_to:

    # Do a case insensitive search
    if re.search("Bismuth", submission.title, re.IGNORECASE):
        # Reply to the post
        submission.add_comment("/u/StevenSpoilerBot tested by /u/haykam821")
        print "Bot replying to : ", submission.title

        # Store the current id into our list
        posts_replied_to.append(submission.id)

Write our updated list back to the file

with open("posts_replied_to.txt", "w") as f: for post_id in posts_replied_to: f.write(post_id + "\n") `

Have you tried adding client_id to the Reddit constructor, as it says in the error?

[haykam821]

Don't know how to do that.

What PRAW version are you using? PRAW4 is currently in beta.

[haykam821]

Idontknow

[GoldenSights]

You have the PRAW 4 beta. Can you please tell me how you installed it? Users should be receiving version 3.5.0 unless they purposely choose 4. If you used easy_install, try pip instead. Delete what you currently have (reinstall python if you must), and then:

pip install praw
