How to fix "module 'collections' has no attribute 'Iterable'" error #152

Description

@vladmycode

When trying to retrieve a list of WordPress posts, I got the error module 'collections' has no attribute 'Iterable'. This is because in Python 3.10, the version I was using, the Iterable class has been moved to the collections.abc module.

In order to solve this error, after installing the library with pip install python-wordpress-xmlrpc, open the wordpress_xmlrpc folder (it should be in your virtual environment), then open the file base.py.

Here, you need to make two replacements:

  1. At line 1, replace import collections with import collections.abc
  2. At line 128, replace elif isinstance(raw_result, collections.Iterable): with elif isinstance(raw_result, collections.abc.Iterable):

That should fix the error and allow the script to parse the raw result from the WordPress site.
