Hi,

First, thank you for this great book. I've relied upon it quite a bit!

Second, after recently returning to using it, I found that the oauth_login function from example one in the cookbook was no longer working.

Turns out that twitter-python has changed its API to be more inline with Twitter's requirement that all API calls now be made with oAuth tokens.

Two things in particular: 1) twitter.oauth.OAuth has been replaced by twitter.Api. 2) the order/names of the tokens you pass are different. See below.

import twitter

def oauth_login():

    CONSUMER_KEY = 'your_consumer_key'
    CONSUMER_SECRET = 'your_consumer_secret'
    OAUTH_TOKEN_KEY = 'your_oauth_token_key'
    OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET = 'your_oauth_token_secret'

    # UPDATED FOR twitter-python 2.0 ALL CALLS ARE OAUTH NOW
    twitter_api = twitter.Api(consumer_key=CONSUMER_KEY, \
                              consumer_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET, \
                              access_token_key=OAUTH_TOKEN_KEY, \
                              access_token_secret=OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)

    return twitter_api
