@thegreatref you can wrap the statement in a try\except block to keep your script running:

        try:
            session = InstaPy(username=username, password=password)
            session.login()
        except AttributeError as e:
            print(e)

pls note this is a hacky fix

This has to do with the text that it's being obtained, you need to modify source code ... stop using the function format_number with the same browser select element, check utils.py, you can fix this, but there is another bug later on .. which I am stuck on that is, there is no window._sharedData to pull extra profile data, on getUserData function, also on utils.py

I've had luck with this library instagrapi for the common instagram functions. Login, Likes, and Comments are all working. Just be careful as instagram might flag the account.
