Problem with IO feed from Raspberry Pi Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I am incurring an interesting problem with my IO feed using Python 3.5.3 on my Raspberry Pi. If I save and run the program the first time, it runs like a champ. But, shut down and restart the program, it errors. it will keep erring until I delete all the feeds and start from scratch. This is very annoying. I need advise.
This is message that I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the Code I used

Are the feeds provided feed keys, not feed names?

Could you run the following code, twice, and paste the output? I'm interested in seeing where the failure is, within the try/except:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE

from Adafruit_IO import Client, Feed, RequestError

ADAFRUIT_IO_USERNAME = '???'

ADAFRUIT_IO_KEY = '???'

aio = Client(ADAFRUIT_IO_USERNAME, ADAFRUIT_IO_KEY)

#set up feed

try: # if we already have the feeds, assign them.
    print('assigning feeds...')
    temperature_feed = aio.feeds('temperature')
    humidity_feed = aio.feeds('humidity')
    pressure_feed = aio.feeds('pascals')
    rain_feed = aio.feeds('rain')
    wind_feed = aio.feeds('wind')
    direction_feed = aio.feeds('wind_direction')
    power_feed = aio.feeds('power')
except RequestError: # if we don't, create and assign them.
    print('creating feeds...')
    temperature_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='temperature'))
    humidity_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='humidity'))
    pressure_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='pascals'))
    rain_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='rain'))
    wind_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='wind'))
    direction_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='wind_direction'))
    power_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='power'))

I added the extra code and saved it. I also removed the existing feeds so it will run with a clean slate. The first start ran the way it should. The seconded start failed. What are your thoughts.

See the following:

I now have the answer to this problem. After talking to my son-in-law, a programmer, about my problem, he found it in less than 5 minutes. So here it is:

When the following code is ran, something odd happens.

except RequestError: # if we don't, create and assign them.
temperature_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='temperature'))
humidity_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='humidity'))
pressure_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='pascals'))
rain_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='rain'))
wind_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='wind'))
direction_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='wind_direction'))
power_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='power'))

The line
direction_feed = aio.create_feed(Feed(name='wind_direction'))

created a feed key 'wind-direction' instead of 'wind_direction' . This didn't match my feed key. So everything comes to a grinding halt. So the solution is to never use an underscore "__" in your feed names.

I hope this helps someone else.
