pythontwitteroauthtwitter-oauthtweepy

module 'tweepy' has no attribute 'OAuthHandler'

So I'm trying to set up Tweepy so I can start programming with it.

How my first program looks:

#IMPORTING LIBRARIES
#    * tweepy - Twitter API

import tweepy


#LISTING CREDENTIALS

_consumer_key = 'MYCONSUMERKEY'
_consumer_secret = 'MYCONSUMERSECRETKEY'
_access_token = 'MYACCESSTOKEN'
_access_token_secret = 'MYACCESSTOKENSECRET'


#OAUTHHANDLER INSTANCE
#   * works over HTTP and authorizes devices, APIs, servers, and
#     applications — is a standard that provides secure and delegated access.

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(_consumer_key, _consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(_access_token, _access_token_secret)
auth.secure = True
api = tweepy.API(auth)

#UPDATE STATUS

tweet = "Hello, world!"
api.update_status(status=tweet)

When I run this, I get the following error:

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(_consumer_key, _consumer_secret)
AttributeError: module 'tweepy' has no attribute 'OAuthHandler'

I feel it could be because of my file structure, but I have played around with moving files around with no luck.

Solution

  • Try import like this:

    from tweepy.auth import OAuthHandler
auth = OAuthHandler(_consumer_key, _consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(_access_token, _access_token_secret)

    Hope, it will help :)
