# PyLink FAQ
## Startup errors
### I get errors like "ImportError: No module named 'yaml'" when I start PyLink
You are missing dependencies - re-read https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/blob/master/README.md#installation
### I get errors like "yaml.scanner.ScannerError: while scanning for the next token, found character '\t' that cannot start any token"
You must use SPACES and not tabs in your configuration! (`\t` is the escaped code for a tab, which is disallowed by YAML)
You must use **spaces** and not tabs to indent your configuration file! (`\t` is the escaped code for a tab, which is disallowed by YAML)
## Linking / connection issues
### I turned autoconnect for PyLink on, and now I'm getting errors!
PyLink does not support inbound connections - much like regular services such as Atheme or Anope, it only connects outwards *to* IRCds. (If you don't understand what this means, it means you should turn autoconnect OFF for PyLink)
### Clientbot doesn't relay both ways!
Load the `relay_clientbot` plugin. https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/blob/e1fab8c/example-conf.yml#L303-L306
## Relay issues
### Does everyone need to install PyLink Relay for it to work?
@ -37,3 +39,7 @@ PyLink provides, in no particular order:
First, check whether the SQUIT message includes the nick that triggered the netsplit. If this nick includes any characters not allowed in regular IRC, such as the slash ("/"), or is otherwise an invalid nick (e.g. beginning with a hyphen or number), this likely indicates a bug in PyLink Relay. These problems should be reported on the issue tracker!
However, if the nick mentioned is legal on IRC, this issue is likely caused by a max nick length misconfiguration: i.e. the relay server is introducing nicks too long for the target network. This can be fixed by setting the `maxnicklen` option in the affected network's PyLink `server:` block to the same value as that network's `005` `NICKLEN` (that is, the `NICKLEN=<num>` value in `/raw version`).
