I could successfully connect to reddit's servers with oauth2 some time ago, but when running my script just now, I get a KeyError
followed by a NoSectionError
. Code is below followed by exceptions, (The code has been reduced to its essentials).
import praw
# Configuration
APP_UA = 'useragent'
...
...
...
r = praw.Reddit(APP_UA)
Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

d.update(self._sections[section])
KeyError: 'useragent'
A NoSectionError occurred when handling the above exception.

Try giving it a user_agent kwarg.
r = praw.Reddit(useragent=APP_UA)
