Tweepy Print Account Status
August 26, 2011
On my brass band directory site, I wanted to show the latest tweet if the band had a twitter account.
Here's the tweepy code that gets hold of the user's latest status:
def _get_twitter_status(pTwitterAccountName): """ Get hold of this twitter users's latest status """ lStatus = "" try: lApi = tweepy.API() lUser = lApi.get_user(pTwitterAccountName) lStatus = lUser.timeline()[0] except: pass return lStatus.text
