Question

import twitter

client = twitter.Api()

client = twitter.Api(username='uname', password='password')

update = client.PostUpdate('Tweetin from python!')

This is my code. When i execute this program i get this error

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'username'

Can someone help me?

The twitter module you're using doesn't have username and password arguments to the API constructor. Have you read the documentation? — Wooble

Per the documentation, you have to use OAuth, and specify keys and access tokens in the API constructor: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/

>>> api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer_key',
consumer_secret='consumer_secret', access_token_key='access_token', access_token_secret='access_token_secret')
