Error while fetching csrftoken

Question

I'm getting error while i'm trying to fetch the csrftoken.
I tried changing the token name from csrftoken to csrf but i'm still getting the error.

import requests
url='myurl'
Username='username'
Password='password'

requests.Session().get(url)

csrftoken= requests.Session().cookies['csrftoken']
logindata=dict(csrfmiddlewaretoken=csrftoken,username=
Username,password=Password)

requests.Session().post(url,data=logindata,headers={'referer' :'homepage'})

page=requests.session().get('2nd url')
print page.content

The error is :-

File "C:\Users\dell\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packa es\requests\cookies.py", line 329, in __getitem__return self._find_no_duplicates(name)'

File "C:\Users\dell\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packa es\requests\cookies.py", line 400, in _find_no_duplicates raise KeyError('name=%r, domain=%r, path=%r' % (name, domain, path)) eyError: "name='csrftoken', domain=None, path=None"'

This code evades the Session part of requests version with capital "S". Try to see if this works for you:

import requests

url = 'url'
client = requests.session()
# Retrieve the CSRF token first
csrf = client.get(url).cookies['csrftoken']

login_data = dict(username=EMAIL, password=PASSWORD, csrfmiddlewaretoken=csrf, next='/')
r = client.post(URL, data=login_data, headers=dict(Referer=url))

# Check if it worked?
print r.status_code

Perhaps its bugged at your install?

EDIT1:

try this:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

client = requests.Session()
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
url = 'url'

soup = BeautifulSoup(client.get(url).text, "html.parser")
csrf = soup.find(name="csrf")
