Error posting to Twitter with new API - module object has no attribute Api

[Ross McDonald]

Hello list

I have recently upgraded pywws to the latest 13 06 release using the github repo. I upgraded tweepy using the github repo and removed the older python-tweepy I had installed from the ubuntu 12.04 repos.

Hourly works perfectly if my weather.ini file has nothing in the [twitter] fields and all graphs and templates are processed and uploaded to my website.  If I add 'tweet.txt' to hourly and 'forecast_tweet.txt' in the 12 hourly section I get the following error.

21:00:56:pywws.LogData:Fetching data
21:00:57:pywws.LogData:4 catchup records

    self.api = twitter.Api(
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Api'

The documentation seems to show two different methods of including tweets (http://jim-easterbrook.github.io/pywws/doc/en/html/guides/hourlylogging.html) where tweet templates are included in the [twitter] section and on (http://jim-easterbrook.github.io/pywws/doc/en/html/guides/twitter.html#add-twitter-updates-to-your-hourly-tasks) the tweet template is added to the [text] section with a T flag.

Have I got conflicting packages installed?

Thanks

The most recent version on git no longer uses tweepy, but has moved on to python-twitter - you'll need to build the documentation locally to get the latest requirements.

Cheers

Nick

That's confusing. "release" is the word I use for one of the snapshots I
upload to PyPI every two or three months. If you've cloned the GitHub
repo then you have the development version.

As Nick has pointed out, since the last release the development version
has dropped tweepy in favour of python-twitter, because the tweepy
developer has announced its retirement.

In retrospect I probably should have made it use whichever library you
have installed, at least for a transitional period.

You (currently) have a choice. The 'T' flag syntax is new and is
intended to replace the 'twitter' item in the '[hourly]' section. Note
that the '[twitter]' section is used to store your authorisation
credentials, it does not include a list of templates.

You're right - I have the development version installed.  I also had Ubuntu's version of python-twitter installed as well as tweepy.  Ubuntu version of python-twitter is purged, tweepy removed and python-twitter 1.0 installed using:

pip install python-twitter

I currently use 'tweet.txt' in the twitter item in [hourly] but will try the new format in the text item.

Tweets are now working again.  Thank you both for the helpful pointers.

No need to purge tweepy, but no harm in doing so.

Can you find out what version of python-twitter Ubuntu was installing?
(I don't know how easy Ubuntu's package manager makes it to answer such
questions.) Version 0.8.6 (from OpenSUSE Python build service) works, so
I guess it's older than that.

Ubuntu 12.04 uses python-twitter version 0.6
