Using Tweepy API behind proxy
- by user1505819
I have a using Tweepy, a python wrapper for Twitter.I am writing a small GUI application in Python which updates my twitter account.
Currently, I am just testing if the I can get connected to Twitter, hence used test() call. I am behind Squid Proxy server.What changes should I make to snippet so that I should get my work done.
Setting http_proxy in bash shell did not help me.
def printTweet(self):
#extract tweet string
tweet_str = str(self.ui.tweet_txt.toPlainText()) ;
#tweet string extracted.
self.ui.tweet_txt.clear() ;
self.tweet_on_twitter(str);
def tweet_on_twitter(self,my_tweet) :
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET);
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_KEY, ACCESS_SECRET) ;
api = tweepy.API(auth) ;
if api.test() :
print 'Test successful' ;
else :
print 'Test unsuccessful';
