QUESTION
I have succeeded in using MechanicalSoup (Python library) to scrape the data from my school's website(s) and have created two .txt files (upcomingFixturesData.txt and resultsFixturesData.txt) which I would like to use to fill the content of one of my tables (I'm using Gatsby as a single-page site). The .txt documents both look like this:

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-24 at 09:56As per the MechanicalSoup FAQ, you shouldn't use this library when dealing with a dynamic JavaScript-enabled form, which seems to be the case for the website in your example.
Instead, you can use Selenium in combination with BeautifulSoup (and a little bit of help from webdriver-manager) to achieve your desired result. A short example would look like this:

Answered 2021-Apr-27 at 21:10You see the same thing if you use curl or wget to fetch the page. My guess is they are using browser detection to try to prevent people from stealing their copyrighted information, as you are attempting to do. You can search for the User-Agent header to see how to pretend to be another browser.

QUESTION
I was forced to reinstall windows on my Computer. Since that, I have one problem after the other.
Right now. I have a problem with python or better mechanicalsoup. I have pythonscrips for webscrapibng which used to work completly fine. But now they do not work anymore. At the beginning I could't even use "pip install 'Packagename'" anymore. I needed to use the long way (python -m install 'Packagename'). I managed to solve this issue.
I already uninstalled and installed mechanicalsoup, python and even visual codes.
I have absolute no idea where to look and how to solve this problem by now. Did I forgot to install something important ? Has anyone an idea what's the issue here ?
That's the code i'm using right now. From my understanding there is no issue with the code. As I already mention. It use to work 3 days ago.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-18 at 08:24According to the information you provided, the problem occurred in "mechanicalsoup\stateful_browser.py", it is recommended that you use the command "pip show mechanicalsoup" to find the module installation location, and then try to delete the module folder "mechanicalsoup", and then reinstall it to avoid The file is damaged or dependent.

Install MechanicalSoup
You can use MechanicalSoup like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
