Attribute Error Django using tweepy oauth

Question

I'm trying to set up oauth in Django using Tweepy. I am getting the following error.

AttributeError at /auth/

'dict' object has no attribute 'key'

This occurs in the following code when I try to store the request token for later access when the user is forwarded to the callback url (http://localhost:8000/callback).

def auth(request):
    # start the OAuth process, set up a handler with our details
    oauth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, CALLBACK)
    # direct the user to the authentication url
    # if user is logged-in and authorized then transparently goto the callback URL
    try:
        auth_url = oauth.get_authorization_url()
    except tweepy.TweepError:
        return HttpResponse('error', status=500)
    # store the request token
    request.session['unauthed_token_tw'] = (oauth.request_token.key, oauth.request_token.secret) 
    return HttpResponseRedirect(auth_url)

I am new to Python and Django, does this error mean that the oauth.request_token is null? Could it be a problem with my callback url? Do I need to forward port 8000? Any help or pointers would be much appreciated!

I changed this line of code:

request.session['unauthed_token_tw'] = (oauth.request_token.key, oauth.request_token.secret)

to this:

request.session['unauthed_token_tw'] = oauth.request_token

... after reading this documentation. And now it works!
