Bug: method_whitelist

[jirakst]

My code:

from instagrapi import Client
import config

cl = Client()
cl.login(config.ACCOUNT_USERNAME, config.ACCOUNT_PASSWORD)
cl.get_timeline_feed() # check session

user_id = cl.user_info_by_username("nomadic_programmer")

print(user_id)

Traceback:

  File "/Users/Stan/Documents/Projects/1Eleven/insta.py", line 4, in <module>
    cl = Client()
  File "/Users/Stan/Documents/Projects/1Eleven/1Eleven/lib/python3.9/site-packages/instagrapi/__init__.py", line 102, in __init__
    super().__init__(**kwargs)
  File "/Users/Stan/Documents/Projects/1Eleven/1Eleven/lib/python3.9/site-packages/instagrapi/mixins/public.py", line 67, in __init__
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/Stan/Documents/Projects/1Eleven/1Eleven/lib/python3.9/site-packages/instagrapi/mixins/private.py", line 84, in __init__
    retry_strategy = Retry(
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'method_whitelist'

The part of the code within the library:

class PublicRequestMixin:
    public_requests_count = 0
    PUBLIC_API_URL = "https://www.instagram.com/"
    GRAPHQL_PUBLIC_API_URL = "https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/"
    last_public_response = None
    last_public_json = {}
    public_request_logger = logging.getLogger("public_request")
    request_timeout = 1

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # setup request session with retries
        session = requests.Session()
        retry_strategy = Retry(
            total=3,
            status_forcelist=[429, 500, 502, 503, 504],
            method_whitelist=["GET", "POST"],  # This is the line
            backoff_factor=2,
        )

Hasn't there been some recent change to this?
