Tweepy example

Tweepy example

I have the same problem with tweepy 1.7.1

It works with basic authentication:
streaming_api = tweepy.streaming.Stream(username, password, CustomStreamListener(), timeout=60)

but refuses oauth:
streaming_api = tweepy.streaming.Stream(auth, CustomStreamListener(), timeout=60)

You're right. Basic authentication works. Thanks!

However, have I missed any requirement to get oauth work?

I'm really sorry that I didn't respond to this issue sooner. It slipped through the cracks. I've tested this with tweepy 1.7.1 (as verified by

import tweepy
print tweepy.__version__

and it runs as expected. Could you possibly verify your version of tweepy as shown above and make sure that you have the latest code? I'd really like to help get this cleared up, and that would be a very valuable data point for me.e

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem with oauth, although I haven't tried basic yet. I get the TypeError message mentioned above. I just issued pip install tweepy about an hour ago and so I do have 1.7.1. I have tried giving an extra argument, such as snooze_time, but that doesn't seem to affect anything.

Has there been any progress on this? Let me know if I can provide any more data for you - although I am a github newbie, so be forewarned!

Thanks for any help!

Also, as long as I am showing my confusion/ignorance -- it's not clear to me how to expose the tab-delimited table that is created in the custom listener. Having ended up with a streaming API via basic auth but otherwise following the sample code, I want to do something like:

tweets = streaming_api.sample()
for t in tweets:
if t.get('text'):
print(t['text'])

but tweets isn't iterable. I realize this is almost certainly a dumb question - sorry :/

I had the same problem. installing from git seems to solve it

setuptools - from Git repository

git clone git://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git
cd tweepy
python setup.py install (run as admin/root)

https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy/blob/master/INSTALL

Thanks a lot, fadmaa. I was having a little bit of time reproducing this problem - probably because there was a regression in Tweepy somewhere along the line, but I'd been installing the latest from Git and not thinking to explicitly recommend that others do the same.

FWIW, everyone should note that you can also install directly from HEAD (or a particular revision) using pip like so:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git#egg=tweepy-latest

Variations also exist that allow you to apply @revisions, etc. to install specific commits from GitHub.

Note that pip itself can be easy_installed via the standard "easy_install pip"
