想要使用tweepy将推文数据存储在.txt或.csv文件中

Question

I am working on tweepy library to use twitter streaming API. I want to save all those tweets in a .txt file or .csv file.

//part of my code

def on_status(self, status):
    print( status.text)

when i write this line of code and run python getData.py (code file name) on terminal, tweets(with hashtags, id, http and some other) would print after 10 mins around.

but for saving data in .txt file, when i run python getData.py > getData.txt this. It took hours but didn't get any results.

I also tried

def on_status(self, status):
    with open("getData.txt","wb") as myFile:
        myFile.write(status)
        myFile.close()

but it is giving me error. Here's a link of all those errors.

same i tried for .csv file but again getting error.

here is my full code.

import tweepy
import csv

####input your credentials here
consumer_key = ' '
consumer_secret = ' '
access_token = ' '
access_token_secret = ' '

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

#create a wrapper for the API provided by twitter.
api = tweepy.API( auth )

class TwitterStreamListener(tweepy.StreamListener):
""" A listener handles tweets are the received from the stream.
    This is a basic listener that just prints received tweets to      stdout.
"""

    def on_status(self, status):
        print( status)


# Twitter error list : https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/response-codes
     def on_error(self, status_code):
         if status_code == 403:
             print("The request is understood, but it has been refused or access is not allowed. Limit is maybe reached")
             return False

#create the stream
streamListener = TwitterStreamListener()

# Add your wrapper and your listner to the stream object
myStream = tweepy.Stream( auth = api.auth, listener = streamListener)

myStream.filter(track=['rajnathsingh'], async=True)
# myStream.filter( follow = ['135421739'])

I want to store it on .csv file of .txt file. How should i solve this problem? Thank you.

Well, you need to encode your tweet first before you save in csv. It works for me

status = tweet.text.encode('utf8')
with open('getData.txt', 'a') as myFile:     
                              writer = csv.writer(myFile)
                              writer.writerow([status])
