I tried running the Python script and get the following error:

NameError: name 'display' is not defined

Is there a module I need to install first?

The link to the script is broken and the error reads, "An invalid set of parameters has been specified in the url."

When I click the Identify deprecated Configurable Apps in ArcGIS Online using a Python script link above, I also receive the following error: "An invalid set of parameters has been specified in the url." 

Please advise.

Clicking on the link "Identify deprecated Configurable Apps in ArcGIS Online using a Python script" provided gives me an error.  Is this script still available?  Can this be fixed? @BethRomero
