IncorrectSignature (continuation of issue #157)
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=176

Have you tied regenerating your access tokens? Also, check that your
application is still listed.

I've also found that if your clock skew is too far off, this will mess up
the nonce, and thus the signature.

I just did that, using the get_access_token.py script:

====
Requesting temp token from Twitter

Please visit this Twitter page and retrieve the pincode to be used
in the next step to obtaining an Authentication Token:

https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=B9zeRILjowPA5S7bCbX7SJUfYHczMNgRxEqQMeDQNQ

Pincode? **********

Generating and signing request for an access token

Your Twitter Access Token key: ****
Access Token secret: ****
====

Yes, it is.
These are the settings:

====
App type: client
Access: read & write
Use twitter for login: [no]
====

The app ( http://twitter.com/groovify ) is just python script that
scans the spotify/last.fm/grooveshark links in the tweets, and replies
that user with a link that has playlist generated based on that (seed)
song.
More info here:
http://denoiserthebetter.posterous.com/groovify-your-music-tweets

And here's an example:
http://ella.bmat.me/groovify?id=515c13bd-3eea-4f4f-a6e6-9055d3ca7654&artist=Ryan+Adams&track=Wonderwall

That's it!

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

BTW, in the issue #176 I attached some code to test it. and I paste
it here as well.
So, can anyone please try this out and let me know whether it works
fine for you, or not...
Thanks!

====
import twitter

USER = 'YOUR_USERNAME'
PASSWD = '****'
CONSUMER_KEY = '****' # generated via get_access_token.py
CONSUMER_SECRET = '****' # generated via get_access_token.py

api = twitter.Api(consumer_key=USER, consumer_secret=PASSWD,
access_token_key=CONSUMER_KEY, access_token_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET,
debugHTTP=True)

print api.GetUserTimeline()[0] #This works fine...

message ='Just testing OAuth...please work! ;-
('

status = api.PostUpdate(message)
#Error: twitter.TwitterError: Incorrect signature

The values for the parameters of consumer_key and consumer_secret are
not your web-based twitter userid and password, but rather the values
you are assigned by twitter when you created the Application (and also
what you had to give inside of get_access_token.py.)

I would change your code to read:

import twitter

CONSUMER_KEY = 'value_of_your_apps_consumer_key'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'value_of_your_apps_consumer_secret'
ACCESS_KEY = '****' # generated via get_access_token.py
ACCESS_SECRET = '****' # generated via get_access_token.py

api = twitter.Api(consumer_key=CONSUMER_KEY, consumer_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET,
access_token_key=ACCESS_KEY, access_token_secret=ACCESS_SECRET,
debugHTTP=True)

...this (plus another problem with the app config) was the (stupid)
problem. My fault!
Now it works again.
