Issues with the code examples about recipes-for-mining-twitter

[ptwobrussell]

Hi - I've been busy traveling, and I apologize for my tardy response to you. What's happened is that the "twitter" Python package is not at version 1.6, and the examples targeted version 1.4.2, the latest version available to me at the time of writing (though I've heard from another reader that v1.5.x seems to work alright as well.) Unfortunately, version 1.6 doesn't seem to be backwards compatible, and I'm not sure if that's because of a bug in v1.6 or if it's intentional by the maintainer of that package. At the moment, I'd recommend you downgrade your version the twitter package to 1.4.2 while I look into this matter further if that's alright?

Thanks for pinging me about this. I promise to look into it and get you a response as soon as I can.

Regards - Matthew

Hi,

First of all, thank you for writing the book and releasing the code!

I am having some issues in running the example.

After installing the required packages such as networkx and twitter package,
I ran recipe__visualize_rt_graph_protovis.py by typing the following:

$: ecipe__visualize_rt_graph_protovis.py japan

Than i received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "recipe__visualize_rt_graph_protovis.py", line 71, in
page=page))
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twitter-1.6-py2.6.egg/twitter/api.py", line 150, in call
return self._handle_response(req, uri, arg_data)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twitter-1.6-py2.6.egg/twitter/api.py", line 165, in _handle_response

twitter.api.TwitterHTTPError: Twitter sent status 404 for URL: 1/search.json using parameters: (q=japan&rpp=100&page=1)
details:

<title>The page you were looking for doesn't exist (404)</title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #fff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; } h1 { margin: 10px 0; } img { border: 0; } </style>

The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

May I know what am I doing wrong?

Am I missing something?

Best Regards,
Eugene
