'Bot' object has no attribute 'set_proxy'

I have been using these lines of code. But this error appeared 'Bot' object has no attribute 'set_proxy' I have tried to use it without proxy but then I got this error ERROR - Request returns 429 error!

from instabot import Bot
import time

def unfollow_users(username, password, users_to_unfollow, unfollow_interval=60, proxy=None):
    bot = Bot()
    
    # Set proxy if provided
    if proxy:
        bot.set_proxy(proxy)
    
    bot.login(username=username, password=password)

    for user_to_unfollow in users_to_unfollow:
        user_id = bot.get_user_id_from_username(user_to_unfollow)
        if user_id:
            bot.unfollow(user_id)
            print(f"Unfollowed {user_to_unfollow}")
            time.sleep(unfollow_interval)
        else:
            print(f"User {user_to_unfollow} not found")

    bot.logout()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Your Instagram credentials
    instagram_username = 'usernm'
    instagram_password = 'pass'

    # List of usernames to unfollow
    users_to_unfollow = ["user1id", "user2id", "user3id"]

    # Time interval between unfollow actions (in seconds)
    unfollow_interval_seconds = 60

    # Proxy configuration (replace with your actual proxy details)
    proxy_config = {
        'http': 'http://212.193.137.206:62740:NReJKktP:vjTr2QJC',
        'https': 'https://185.81.71.172:63310:NReJKktP:vjTr2QJC',
    }

    # Call the function to unfollow users with proxy support
    unfollow_users(instagram_username, instagram_password, users_to_unfollow, unfollow_interval_seconds, proxy_config)

TERMINAL RESULT:

Your python version is 3.11.4 but the stable release of instabot currently supports Python 2.7, 3.5 - 3.7. You may need to downgrade your python version.

Please keep your current python version and also install a supported version. Then use a virtual environment to manage this project. For example, you can use a python 3.7 virtual environment for this project after installing python 3.7 in your system.

Then you can pip install instabot in your virtual environment. See Project description.
