A3S Code

1.11.0 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python

pip install a3s-code

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'a3s_code' ↓

cause The package is not installed or the import path is wrong.

fix

Run 'pip install a3s-code' and use 'from a3s_code import A3SCode'.

error requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden ↓

cause GitHub API rate limit exceeded without authentication.

fix

Set GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to a valid personal access token.

error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/path/to/binary' ↓

cause The binary was not downloaded because the binary_name is wrong or missing platform suffix.

fix

Ensure binary_name matches exactly the filename in the GitHub release, including extension.

Warnings

breaking Requires Python >=3.10. Older Python versions will fail to install. ↓

fix Upgrade Python to 3.10 or later.

gotcha If GITHUB_TOKEN is not set, only public repositories with low rate limits are accessible. Rate limits may cause failures. ↓

fix Set GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable with a personal access token.

gotcha On Windows, binary names often require a '.exe' suffix. Not appending it will cause 'FileNotFoundError'. ↓

fix Specify binary_name with '.exe' on Windows (e.g., 'my-cli.exe').
