Public bug reported:
The code attached below generates an error on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with
python3 default package installed (python3 --version returns 3.5.2).
The error message is:
«Failed to send request: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'»
The code works fine on Ubuntu 17.04 and Fedora 25 (both python3 --version
returning 3.5.3). The code also runs on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with self-compiled
from source python 3.6.1.
Also, the code has been running ok for over a year on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - it
only fails since mid June 2017.
Not sure where the issue is, probably in Ubuntu package for python or in python
version 3.5.2.
from datetime import datetime,date,time,timezone
import tweepy as twitter
def sendToTwitter():
consumer_key='...'
consumer_secret='...'
access_token_key='...'
access_token_secret='..'
#connect to the twitter api
message = "tweet test"
print("trying to send the tweet...")
try:
auth = twitter.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token_key, access_token_secret)
api = twitter.API(auth)
status = api.update_status(status=message)
print("tweet sent")
except Exception as e:
print("error while tweeting. reason : " + str(e))
return
sendToTwitter()
