This looks like it is an issue in giara and it's calling praw.Reddit. The "code" you provided to reproduce the issue isn't enough to go off of. We'll need more than this to go off of.

[Nathaniel Russell]

what exactly would you like. I am trying to run Giara 1.1.0 with praw 7.7.1 and prawcore 2.4.0
