Can not Save User Object to Ram after twint.run.Lookup(c)

[DenizDalkilic10]

Command Ran

    conf = twint.Config()
    conf.Username = account_name
    conf.Limit = 1
    conf.Store_object = True
    conf.User_full = True
    twint.run.Lookup(conf)
    accounts = twint.output.users_list
    return accounts[0]

Description of Issue

Can not Retrieve User Object to Ram after twint.run.Lookup(c) and twint.output.users_list. I believe that using twint.output.users_list after calling Lookup is wrong but could not find a correct version in the Wiki for saving a specific account as an User object

Environment Details

Windows and Pycharm

[pielco11]

import twint

c = twint.Config()
c.Username = "twitter"
c.Store_object = True

twint.run.Lookup(c)

user = twint.output.users_list[0]
print(user.join_date)

That test case doesn't appear to work on master post 8dbe139; it did however work on previous versions. (last working version was 2.1.18)

@minimaxir May you post a screenshot where you show the imported version of Twint of the code executed?

Hi @pielco11 , I am using 2.1.20 and I have the same problem, twint.output.users_list returns an empty list.

[pielco11]

may you reproduce this, please?

Same here, it's empty.

I have the same issue but I was able to reproduce both cases: failure and success. When you install pointing directly to Github repo (with editable mode or not - doesn't matter): pip3 install --user --upgrade -e git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint it works but when you just execute: pip3 install twint it doesn't work. It seems that for both cases version is the same: 2.1.20. As I can see last version on pypi.org has been pushed on 29th April but master on Github has been updated in last month, so probably it contains fix for this issue.
