AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'copy'

See original GitHub issue

Terminal returned this error message after tagging some of my steam games:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ProtonDB-to-Steam-Library.py", line 225, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "ProtonDB-to-Steam-Library.py", line 173, in main
    tags = sharedconfig[configstore]["Software"]["Valve"]["Steam"][apps][str(app_id)]["tags"].copy()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'copy'

The tags did not write to my steam library since the script threw the error.

I’m running Python 3.7.3

DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.0.4

Thanks @saudfs for including the sharedconfig, I think I may have just fixed this. This was a small goof on my part, I left one tiny check out of that update which should have fixed it. I’ll get that fixed right now, and is it alright if I use a partial of your sharedconfig as a test to ensure continued compatibility?

Ok, I think that may be fixed then. If you test and find that it isn’t please let me know and I’ll re-open this!
