i am using the script
with latest version of python 3.9.5
and i used it for my simple project i created
i had some issues with it , i cant cahnge the calculation and when i use
(.setMethod) it says:

 File "c:\Users\armo\prayertimes\praytimes.py", line 157, in setMethod self.adjust(self.methods[method].params)
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'params'
        try:
            methodconfig = config["Settings"]["Method"]
        except KeyError:
            methodconfig = "MWL"

        PT = PrayTimes()
        PT.setMethod(methodconfig)

and when i supply the calculation method as a prametre for the praytimes class

        try:
            methodconfig = config["Settings"]["Method"]
        except KeyError:
            methodconfig = "MWL"

        PT = PrayTimes(methodconfig)

it does not change the method
please i need your help thank you.
