ImportError: cannot import name 'config' from 'settings'

Hello, I encountered the following error while trying to run the project:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users***ChicagoYIMBYblueskybot\src\main.py", line 3, in

ImportError: cannot import name 'config' from 'settings' (C:\Users***ChicagoYIMBYblueskybot\src\settings.py)

I resolved this issue by modifying settings.py as below (Quick-and-dirty fix, not optimal):

import os
import logging
import yaml
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from datetime import datetime

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

load_dotenv()

BLUESKY_USERNAME = os.getenv("BLUESKY_USERNAME")
BLUESKY_PASSWORD = os.getenv("BLUESKY_PASSWORD")
RSS_FEED_URL = os.getenv("RSS_FEED_URL")

# Minimum date for RSS entries to be posted (default to November 13, 2024)
MIN_POST_DATE = os.getenv("MIN_POST_DATE", "2024-11-13")
MIN_POST_DATE = datetime.strptime(MIN_POST_DATE, "%Y-%m-%d")

def load_config():
    """Load configuration from YAML file."""
    try:
        config_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../config.yaml')
        with open(config_path, 'r') as f:
            return yaml.safe_load(f)
    except Exception as e:
        logger.critical(f"Failed to load config file: {e}")
        raise

config = load_config()

Thanks for this. It says that ffeed cannot parse the file. Can you explain what kind of feed link should I send?

[PileOfGarbage]

The RSS_FEED_URL setting in your .env must be set to a well-formed URI pointing to a valid RSS feed file. This file should be in XML and conform to a spec supported by feedparser (Ideally RSS 2.0).

For example, here is the URI for the Slashdot front-page RSS feed: https://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotMain.

I am doing what you said, I am selecting the site you sent as feed, but it still gives an error
