Python-user-agents library not working
I am trying to use python-user-agents . I keep running into many bugs inside the library itself.
At first he referred to from ua_parser import user_agent_parser
which he never defined. So after banging my head, I looked online to see what it might be and found that ua_parser
- this is another library that this project was using. So I downloaded ua_parser
. But now I am getting an error that
TypeError: parse_device() got an unexpected keyword argument 'model'
Of course it ua_parser
has a model variable that the python-user-agents library does not expect. Has anyone done a better job with this library? Whoever wrote this did a terrible job. But it seems to be the only one I could find. Any help helping it work well? I want to use it like this to determine if the browser or tablet is mobile or touch device: user_agent.is_mobile
or user_agent.is_touch_capable
oruser_agent.is_tablet

if you look at the readme from the github link it tells you what to install and how to use lib:
You need pyyaml and ua-parser:
pip install pyyaml ua-parser user-agents
Working example:
In [1]: from user_agents import parse
In [2]: ua_string = 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9B179 Safari/7534.48.3'
In [3]: user_agent = parse(ua_string)
In [4]: user_agent.is_mobile
Out[4]: True
In [5]: user_agent.is_touch_capable
Out[5]: True
In [6]: user_agent.is_tablet
Out[6]: False
