I was trying to use the new liberary request-html. But when i use the render() function to parse a javascript page, it always pop up with the notes as below:

Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\pyppeteer\launcher.py", line 201, in killChrome self._cleanup_tmp_user_data_dir() File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\pyppeteer\launcher.py", line 130, in _cleanup_tmp_user_data_dir raise IOError('Unable to remove Temporary User Data') OSError: Unable to remove Temporary User Data

I tried to solve the problems, but it seems that there is no solution right now. So i kind of hope someone here can help me.

PS: it seems that i can not post it with the tag:requests-html, i do not have enought repution. So, very sorry for that.

I had the same issue, but it seems to have disappeared after my second run. If it keeps happening, perhaps try closing the request and/or session after you're done:

session = HTMLSession()
req = session.get(url)

# do something

req.close()
session.close()

I fixed this issue by switch to the administrator mode.

Modify the connection.py file

pyppeteer/connection.py

Fixed mine by adding: PYPPETEER_HOME to environment variables on my PC, and the variable value to a folder on my PC, ie; 'C:\tool'

variable name: PYPPETEER_HOME,

variable value: C:\tool

and I had to restart my system.
