Tweepy Not Displaying

[coded kid]

Hi guys, I want to display user’s timeline in my django app but it’s
not working. It only display a white blank page! I’m using Tweepy.
Below are my codes:

Views.py

import tweepy

def tweetstream(request):
consumer_key="XXXX"
consumer_secret="XXX"
access_token="XXX"
access_token_secret="XXXX"
auth=tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api=tweepy.API(auth)
status=api.user_timeline()
for status in status:
if status:
status.__getstate__()
return render_to_response('tweet.html',
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Template:
{% extends "base.html" %}

{% block content %}

{% for status in status %}
{% if status %}
{{ status.author.screen_name}} {{status.text}}
{{status.source}}

{% endif %}
{% endfor %}


{% endblock %}

What I’m I missing? How can I make it return user’s timeline?

That bit looks like it might cause trouble.  You are assigning status to status.  Normally you'd want something like...

{% for status in statuses %}

or

{% for status in status_list %}

or

{% item in status %}

Use whatever variable names you want as long as you're not clobbering variables that are needed while looping.

I'm not sure this is the best place to ask how to use tweepy*. I know
about django, not tweepy, so I can't tell you if you are using the
tweepy API correctly.

You're returning inside a loop. This means that the first time status
is true, you will exit the loop. I'm not sure that is intentional.

'for status in status' is probably going to work, but why be so
confusing? Also, what is this 'status' variable? You are passing no
variables named status to the template - in fact, you're not passing
anything.
