Installation problem?

[Tak Yeon]

Hello!

Thanks for your nice twitter API.
I'm not an expert in programming but trying to install twython on my
Windows XP, Python2.6
I've installed it as below:

This seems to be successful, but when I try to setup Twython in
Python2.6,
It gives out an error saying there's no setup method.


>>> twitter = twython.setup(authtype="Basic", username="example", password="example")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setup'

>>> dir(twython)

'__package__', '__path__']

Hey Tak,

Can you try something for me? Instead of "import twython", try "from twython import twython", and let me know if it works after that.

Uh oh.... it works!
Thank you so~ much!

Yeah, this is an issue some people have been encountering. Not sure what it is - if you'd like, you can file it as a bug over at GitHub.
