Hi i'm trying to fetch realtime data from twitter using tweepy.Stream().
A reference to your source for tweepy would help.
The link below gives https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy
for the current source.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tweepy/1.7.1
has versions for 2.4,5,6 from May 2010.
You neglected to mention which version of Python you are using
streaming_api = tweepy.streaming.Stream(auth, CustomStreamListener(),
timeout='90')
and:
streaming_api = tweepy.streaming.Stream(auth, CustomStreamListener(),
timeout='90')
These look identical.
none of this works, it keeps giving me the same error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
streaming_api = tweepy.streaming.Stream(auth, CustomStreamListener(),
timeout='60')
TypeError: *init*() takes at least 4 arguments (4 given)
3.2 prints the proper method name: __init__. I do not remember that
older versions did that conversion, but maybe so. In any case, the error
message us screwed up. It has been improved in current Python.
then i have searched for the parameters of the function:
tweedy.streaming.Stream(login,password,Listener(),...etc)
but i thought this login and pass was the authentication method using in
the basic authentication not in the oauth case.
Now i'm really confused, a little help please?
The current tweepy/streaming.py source code from the site above says:
class Stream(object):
def __init__(self, auth, listener, **options):
self.auth = auth
self.listener = listener
self.running = False
self.timeout = options.get("timeout", 300.0)
<etc>
According to this, __init__ takes 3 positional params, which is what you
gave it. Perhaps, this was different in an earlier version. Look at the
code you are running.
i have chose tweepy because the
dev.twitter.com <http://dev.twitter.com> page recommended it,
That page mentions no libraries. Perhaps you meant
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/twitter-libraries
