ImportError: cannot import name 'appengine' from 'urllib3.contrib'

[swapnil-up]

I received the error: ImportError: cannot import name 'appengine' from 'urllib3.contrib' and had to google around for a bit too long to find out. Couldn't see anything specific which could solve it here. But a bit of googling resulted in some gains.

System used- Ubuntu
Installed via pip- did the whole pip, pip3, python -m options. updated python version and pip (was already upto date)

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name 'appengine' from 'urllib3.contrib' (/home/swap/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/urllib3/contrib/init.py)

In the end, solved by updating requests-toolbelt to 1 or higher.
Inputted the following line to my terminal:

pip install -U 'requests-toolbelt>=1'

It now works. Hope this helps those who come after me. I hope I put it in the correct area, since I'm not sure if this classifies as an issue exactly.

looks like a dependency issue. probably one of the dependency required by lightnovel-crawler had the wrong version. i suggest using a virtual environment for running the app
