Please make sure your system has the following config in place: Appium-Python-Client==2.6.1;python_version >= '3.0' browserstack-local==1.2.2

Additionally, in the logs you have sent here, I see this error:

"TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'"

This indicates some data type error in your test.

Please try cloning this sample repository and try to run the test.
