find_keyfile() not working about twitterresearch

[trifle]

Hi @dkraynak, thanks for trying our code!
It seems that the code doesn't find your keyfile (keys.yaml). The project is currently not a library that you can install and use in any place - it expects to find the file in the project directory. So the easiest thing is to place your keys.yaml in the same directory as the .py files. Once you did that, you should be able to use both

  import examples

as well as

  import twitter_auth
  twitter_auth.authorize(filepath="keys.yaml")

You can even try that with empty credentials, in which case you'll at least get a different error:

  touch keys.yaml
  python
  import examples
  >>> import examples
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/Users/p/projects/twitterresearch/examples.py", line 16, in <module>
      import rest
    File "/Users/p/projects/twitterresearch/rest.py", line 52, in <module>
      auth = twitter_auth.authorize()
    File "/Users/p/projects/twitterresearch/twitter_auth.py", line 67, in authorize
      auth_object = OAuth1Session(client_key=keys["client_key"],
  TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

If you still get an error from next(), you may be using python 2 - try python version 3 instead.

Does any of this work for you?

Fixed: We now throw a somewhat more helpful Exception on a missing keyfile 43faba6

Hi thanks for this timely response!
I followed your suggestions and tinkered a bit - ultimately what worked for me was just slightly altering the find_keyfile() function to search for 'keys.yaml.template' once it was in the proper directory. I was very surprised that change had an effect but that is what seems to have done it.

Sorry but now I'm having some trouble with peewee... for some reason the import is not having trouble finding the peewee module. When I go back and try to reinstall ...
running install

... (several creating/copying commands)...

copying playhouse\test_utils.py -> build\lib.win-amd64-3.5\playhouse
copying playhouse__init__.py -> build\lib.win-amd64-3.5\playhouse
running build_ext

Any further advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Glad you got it working. The peewee issue stems from your Python install. It probably fails to compile the module. I don't have much experience with Windows, you might fare better with using Anaconda Python.

Closing since the original issue is resolved.
