Problem with the import checker

Question

when I try to test my hw4 solution, anaconda prompt throws an error for every test attempted:

FAILED test_01.py::Test::test_random_1024_00001_random_1024_rnd - TypeError: _check_import() got an unexpected keyword argument 'fromlist'

as far as I can tell, my guess is when I try to open the files by specifying an utf8 encoding: encoding="utf8", the open function tries to import the fromlist library, and the tester kills my execution as if I was trying to import the library myself

I cannot proceed without specifying the encoding, otherwise my program cannot interpet the weird characters from the random exercises correctly, therefore I am stuck :/

Answer 1

Thanks for the notice.

While I check the problem, set DEBUG=True in the test_01.py file to disable all security tests.

It was an older version of the testlib.py, I have updated the zip and the HW4 post

many thanks! I have tried with the new tests file on my machine and it works fine, unfortunately the VM seems to still have the same problem

I have replaced it also on the VM, next time you upload the error will disappear.
