Twython updateStatus - Unauthorized: Invalid / expired Token
Question: I'm trying to post a tweet using Twython from Django-powered site. However,
the 'twitter.updateStatus(status=tweet_text)' line results in the following
error:

    
    
    TwythonError: u'Unauthorized: Authentication credentials were missing or incorrect. -- Invalid / expired Token'
    

I do have requests version 0.13.9, so this shouldn't be an issue:

    
    
    >>>import pkg_resources
    >>>pkg_resources.get_distribution("requests").version
    '0.13.9'
    >>>pkg_resources.get_distribution("twython").version
    '2.3.4'
    

**Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance!**

Here's the python method itself:

    
    
    def tweet_link(request, tweet_text):
        try:
            c = RequestContext(request)
            twitter = Twython(
                twitter_token = TWITTER_KEY,
                twitter_secret = TWITTER_SECRET,
                oauth_token = request.session['request_token']['oauth_token'],
                oauth_token_secret = request.session['request_token']['oauth_token_secret']
            )
            twitter.updateStatus(status=tweet_text)
        except Exception, e:
            print traceback.print_exc()
        return HttpResponse('')
    


Answer: I'm the author of Twython.

This bug was occurring due to an issue with a dependency we have (Requests),
which has been fixed as of Requests v0.13.9. It should be fine now; do feel
free to contact me if not.
