Module Import error

I get this issue when i try to run the script

" Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\win10\Downloads\Vac-Cowin-master\VacCowin.py", line 12, in
from utils.appointment import checkAndBook
File "C:\Users\win10\Downloads\Vac-Cowin-master\utils\appointment.py", line 11, in
from utils.captcha import captchaBuilder
ImportError: cannot import name 'captchaBuilder' from 'utils.captcha' (C:\Users\win10\Downloads\Vac-Cowin-master\utils\captcha.py) ".

I checked the code and found that due to different name in the code , it is giving the error .
And i really like your project and currently using to find a slot . :)

Updating Colors used in Coloring Terminal Texts

I've used colorama library to color the terminal texts in my Initial Commit.

It needs to be updated so that it looks better than before using the same library or other if possible. Use better colors.

5 June captcha policy change

tried today booking slot, entering correct captcha was also returning captcha only. is there any issue? as captcha policy is changed, I guess. Will someone please verify. And BTW Thanks for the script

No module named 'tkinter'

First and foremost.. this script works brilliantly. Thank you so much for making it!

This is not really a defect but more of a missing info in the installation/getting started. I received the error
" No module named 'tkinter' " after installing everything as per the provided instructions.
To resolve it, I had to install python3-tk. Perhaps you should have that in your requirements file so that it gets downloaded automatically.

Thanks.

Create an Executable file for Windows

Tried to build an exe using pyinstaller but that exe doesn't take any input and exits the script sometimes. Plus captcha tests fail if we use the exe.
Nay help regarding the same will be helpful. I tried to build an exe using pyinstaller -F VacCowin.py.

Script does not show correct result

Script is not able to show correct data. It displays message - No options available right now. Next update in x seconds although one option was available which had open slot when viewed through cowin web application.
Frequency of script is set to 5 seconds.

[Question] Does this tool need protected cowin API key?

I saw that this tool uses the protected APIs. Don't they require a key obtained from the government?
