This happens regardless of 2FA. In accounts with it enabled or disabled.
No, the checkpoint challenge error happens randomly, when instagram suspects that the access is made from a suspicious place or that is not a "human". In my experience, in 50% of cases, using this "python script" in the first access, Instagram asks for the challenge. If it doesn't happen to you, you can try to force the "challenge" putting your password wrong through "python script" for 3 times sequentially and, after this, putting the correct password in an account that has never received a session/login from "python script".
Not at the moment, I've tested only with real accounts. But I'll try to create a test account to send you.

For your better comprehension, the challenge checkpoint also has verification methods, similar to 2FA. When I use a mobile (or a script simulating a mobile) and the checkpoint challenge happens, Instagram sends a question to another logged session asking to confirm "if it was me" (see: https://prnt.sc/snlfgc). In theory, when I mark "it was me", Instagram should give access to the "script" , but it's not happening because of a cookie problem/protection, which causes an "infinite loop checkpoint challenge".
When I try to login using a desktop (or simulating a desktop session), the verification method used by challenge checkpoint is: send a SMS or an E-mail to confirm it, similar to 2FA. When challenge uses SMS/E-mail instead of the other method verification, it works. So, the solution for guys has been "forcing" instagram to use SMS/Email verification method to challenge checkpoint instead of the option "it was me" in another logged session.
