Can we get a dev branch to start the repairs etc.
I did try.. incidentally it's better I don't have push privs.

[AnthonyBloomer]

Good idea. I created a dev branch there.

Hi, I've been trying to get this working as a user and it seems that the _ranges and _section parts are not doing anything in the search. The result is that I can filter by property type, but not by number of beds or price so I have just been doing this manually on the search results instead. Is this a known issue? I didn't find it mentioned anywhere else in the repo.

@EricNeville Can you create a new issue with a code snippet indicating the problem, thanks.

[EricNeville]

Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere else, I didn't see it in dependencies so apologies if this is already acknowledged somewhere. I think that the format of the function annotations used in the daft file are incompatible with python versions before 3.9. In particular the line:

def search(self, max_pages: Optional[int] = None) -> list[Listing]:

causes a problem as the type list can't be indexed. It's an easy fix to just remove it or I think the recommended way to use this annotation is to use List from the typing module:

from typing import List
def search(self, max_pages: Optional[int] = None) -> List[Listing]:

Maybe this is worth acknowledging somewhere if it is not already.

[AnthonyBloomer]

Thanks, I noticed this earlier. I'm using Python 3.9 and haven't done too much testing with prior versions of Python. Would you like to add a PR with the fix for this?

[EricNeville]

Will do

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any way to also get the description of listing. The reason I ask is that I would like to filter only listings with specific keyword.

Thanks in advance
Anna

The description seems to not always be in the same place. Something like this works most of the time:

daft = Daft()
daft.set_location(Location.DUBLIN)
daft.set_search_type(SearchType.RESIDENTIAL_RENT)
daft.set_property_type(PropertyType.APARTMENT)

listings = daft.search(max_pages=1)

for i, listing in enumerate(listings):
    if "location" in listing._result["prs"].keys():
        print(f"Listing #{i}:\n", listing._result["prs"]["location"])

Someone should have a look to try and figure out all the different location in the dict that it is found. Can you open an issue about this
