python-twitter and its dependencies
Do you see the error “Error, the message could not be posted!”? During September 2010 the twitter platform cut off the basic authentication method and now it is mandatory to use oAuth. If that’s your case you’ll need to install the latest version of python-twitter, see instructions below
- To install it have a look at the instructions here , I’ve tested the a936121dfd commit (Aug 24 2010)
- Go to the url http://twitter.com/oauth_clients and register a new application. You’ll have to create it with a name application, use your imagination.
- In the previous step you get a consumer key and a consumer secret. Use them in the python script get_access_token.py which is included in the python-twitter code
- After executing the script get_access_token.py you’ll need to follow the instructions shown by the script to get a pincode from twitter
- You should have now the consumer key, consumer secret, access token key and the access token secret parameters. Include them in the configuration file
