I used Mastodon.py and successfully had connected to a Mastodon instance using user/password.
But what I really need is to connect to a Pixelfed instance. Reading documentation from Pixelfed it's said you can connect to it like you do with Mastodon, just with some caveats, like (if I understood alright) you can only do this with a Personal Token or OAuth2.
As I don't need (or have to) an OAuth2 way to connect, as what I'm trying to do is upload a sizable number of pictures into my Pixelfed profile, I tried to use either user/pass and user/Personal Token...
But the same crashes.
I created my server connect object and tried to run this code on this gist with the results there...

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any tips?
