Tool to check if name is taken

General Discussion
31

Here is the new version of the tool to work with the new archives:

  1. It is OS agnostic but currently does not work on Android. I am working on a fix for that
  2. Python installation 3.10 or newer is required
  3. Copy it into a text document and make sure the file extension is .py
  4. Read the READ ME BEFORE RUNNNG section at the beginning of the script and do exactly what is written there.

# ##############################################################READ ME BEFORE RUNNNG##################################################################################
# 1. Install the latest Firefox Browser for your system if you do not already have it                                                                                 #
# 2. You need to install Selenium for Python                                                                                                                          #
# Open a shell (Linux) or PowerShell (Windows) and type "pip install selenium"                                                                                        #
# 3. You need to download GeckoDriver for your OS, unpack it and place it in a location where you have executable rights (Public or user directory usually works best)#
# URL to download: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases (Latest is recommended)                                                                            #
# 4. Type in the location of your GeckoDriver from 1) in line 34                                                                                                      #
# 5. Save this script and make sure the ending is still .py and it is in a location where you have rights to execute it.                                              #
# Now you are all set. Enjoy                                                                                                                                          #
