Twitter module python 'module' object has no attribute Oauth
oauth, oauth-2.0, python, twitter
Solution
Don't name your scripts the same as modules you're import, as when python imports it first looks in script directory, so `twitter.py` is imported instead of `twitter` module.
And after you rename your file to something different with `twitter.py`, don't forget to remove it's compiled code (`twitter.pyc` and `tweepy.pyc`).
Problem
Im trying to follow this basic example here. Code ``` import twitter # XXX: Go to http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new to create an app and get values # for these credentials, which you'll need to provide in place of these # empty string values that are defined as placeholders. # See https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/oauth for more information # on Twitter's OAuth implementation. CONSUMER_KEY = '' CONSUMER_SECRET ='' OAUTH_TOKEN = '' OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET = '' auth = twitter.oauth.OAuth(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET) twitter_api = twitter.Twitter(auth=auth) # Nothing to see by displaying twitter_api except that it's now a # defined variable print twitter_api ``` But running the example throws the following error. ``` vagrant@lucid32:~$ python twitter.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "twitter.py", line 1, in <module> import twitter File "/home/vagrant/twitter.py", line 14, in <module> auth = twitter.oauth.OAuth(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET, AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'oauth' ``` Any help would be appreciated.
