Why can't I run playwright in python but I can in VSCode?

Replit Help

I have no problem running a scraper in python with playwright and selectolax in VSCode, but haven’t figured out why I can’t run it in Replit. Any thoughts?

Welcome to the community, @redpiratesea!

It would be useful if you could send a link to your Repl.

Thanks - btw you should include the ask subdomain as a page on the main replit page. There’s a community page, a help page, and this ask forum. it’s not very easy to navigate here,

hey, i think the problem might this
The version of the glibc library is outdated and does not meet the minimum requirement for the version used by the Playwright Python package. To resolve this issue, if we can get upgraded library of the glibc library to a newer version.

this was the error

Do you happen to have an update?

14

I don’t see any recent updates on the ticket, so I’ve prompted the team for an update!

15

Hey, any update on this? I’m also trying to get python + playwright to work in replit.

Thanks!

16

Any updates? waiting :confused: …

17

I apologize for the delay on this!

There hasn’t been any updates recently. Because this has been stale for a while, I will prioritize the ticket to make sure someone takes a look!

I know it’s not been that long but… any update?

I’m sorry to say that we don’t have the capacity to assist with per-library support right now. As a result, we can’t move forward with your issue at this time. As soon as we can give it attention again, I’ll be sure to let you know!

Well, do you think i can install the requirements it needs manually instead of using it?

And if i can, how would i do that?

23

It might be possible, though I’m not sure if any work needs to be done on our platform side to support this. Regardless, you’re free to try it out!

I would recommend looking into these articles to get started with setting up a custom Repl template:
