exceptions.ImportError：无法导入名称 TwitterAPI

Question

Keep getting this error and not sure why,

exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name TwitterAPI

TwitterAPI library is already downloaded, I download it first from pip install twitterapi, didnt work, uninstall it and download the .zip file for it, and tried to install it using

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

didnt work too, still getting the same error, any ideas?

the code:

from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI

TRACK_TERM = 'NBA'

api = TwitterAPI(consumer_key='__', consumer_secret='__', access_token_key='__', access_token_secret='__')

r = api.request('statuses/filter', {'track': TRACK_TERM})

for item in r:
    print (item['text'] if 'text' in item else item)

Answer 1

You should to install requests (or upgrade them) like in this issue .

pip install requests

or

pip install --upgrade requests

Answer 2

请编写此设置的命令：

pip install python-twitter

Answer 3

Because you installed TwitterAPI from a zip file, the package is not necessarily in a path where Python will see it. That is why import fails. Your best bet is to try installing with pip again, but this time use the proper case since pip is case sensitive:

pip install TwitterAPI

Answer 4

可能需要设置 PYTHONPATH：

export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
