Hi,
I'm a software developper mainly interested in Django/Pinax/Satchmo
these days.
I first downloaded twython when I saw that it supported more API than
python-twitter.
Also python-twitter is returning more and more error 400 with simple
scripts I'm not sure why.
The first script I will be doing in twython is to backup and delete
all my tweets.

Hey F.R,

That's awesome! Glad to hear you like Twython. Feel free to show off
anything you build with it! ;)

Hi Ryan,
I'm having strange result with a very simple script and don't know
what to do to fix my problem.

I've pulled the last version from git and installed twython.

Here is my script and the result when I launch it:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import twython

""" Instantiate Tango with no Authentication """
twitter = twython.setup(username="<removed>", password="<removed>")
timeline = twitter.getUserTimeline()
for machin in timeline:
twitter.destroyStatus(int(machin['id']))

examples roland$ python search_results.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "search_results.py", line 5, in <module>
twitter = twython.setup(username="<removed>", password="<removed>")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setup'

Hi Frederic,

     I think twython (pulled) is there in the directory from which are you running that search program. In that case twython setup function will be accessible via twython.twython.setup . Move your search_results.py to a higher directory in the hierarchy and try exectuing.

Hi Kulbir,

Thank you very much !

Now it's going a bit further. It crash with the following message:

twython roland$ python search_results.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "search_results.py", line 8, in <module>
twitter.destroyStatus(int(machin['id']))
File "/Users/roland/Development/twitter/twython/twython.py", line
490, in destroyStatus
return simplejson.load(self.opener.open("http://twitter.com/status/destroy/
%s.json", "POST" % id))
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

I have simplejson installed but when I do python setup.py install on
twython I get an error related to json and a wrong release number.
Could that be related ?

How did you installed json ?

Hi Frederic,

   Thats not your fault. Thats a bug in twython. I think Ryan should apply the attached patch to git tree.

    For the time being you have two options.
    1. Apply the attached patch to your twython.py
    2. Download the attached twython.py and replace your twython.py with it.

Hi Kulbir,

Thank you very much !

Now it's going a bit further. It crash with the following message:

twython roland$ python search_results.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "search_results.py", line 8, in <module>

   twitter.destroyStatus(int(machin['id']))

 File "/Users/roland/Development/twitter/twython/twython.py", line 490, in destroyStatus

   return simplejson.load(self.opener.open("http://twitter.com/status/destroy/%s.json", "POST" % id))

[Frédéric Roland]

Hi Kulbir,

I think you meant

return
simplejson.load(self.opener.open("http://twitter.com/status/destroy/
%s.json" % id, "POST"))

which is working for me.

Now I can hit the APILimit rather quickly.

Is anyone on the list know how quick twitter answer api limit lift
request ?
