Tweepy 3.8.0中OAuthHandler导入失败问题求助

Let's work through this problem step by step to fix the ModuleNotFoundError and other hidden issues in your code:

1. Fix the OAuthHandler Import Path #

In Tweepy 3.8.0, the OAuthHandler class lives directly under the root tweepy module—not in tweepy.auth. That's exactly why you're getting the "module not found" error.

Replace this line:

from tweepy.auth import OAuthHandler

With either:

from tweepy import OAuthHandler

Or skip the explicit import entirely and reference it directly:

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(privatekey.TWITTER_APP_KEY, privatekey.TWITTER_APP_SECRET)

2. Fix the Authentication Method Typo #

You have a missing 's' in the access token method name. set_acces_token should be set_access_token:

auth.set_access_token(privatekey.TWITTER_KEY, privatekey.TWITTER_SECRET)

3. Fix the Infinite Recursion in Your get_followers Function #

Right now, your function calls itself immediately with no exit condition—this will cause a stack overflow error once you fix the import issues. Here's a corrected version using Tweepy's Cursor (the recommended way to handle paginated data like follower lists):

def get_followers(api, username):
    followers = []
    # Use Cursor to auto-handle pagination
    for page in tweepy.Cursor(api.followers, screen_name=username).pages():
        followers.extend(page)
        print(f"Fetched {len(followers)} followers so far")  # Optional progress tracker
    return followers

# Call the function correctly outside its definition
followers_list = get_followers(api, "harrispolicy")

4. Verify Your Tweepy Installation #

Double-check that Tweepy 3.8.0 is installed in the exact environment you're running your code (critical for virtual environments or Jupyter notebooks):

pip show tweepy

If it shows a different version, uninstall and reinstall the correct release:

pip uninstall tweepy
pip install tweepy==3.8.0

Quick Additional Checks #

• Confirm your privatekey.py is in the same folder as your main script, and all credential variable names match exactly (e.g., TWITTER_APP_KEY is correctly defined).
• Ensure your Twitter API credentials have read access permissions (required to fetch follower lists with API v1.1, which Tweepy 3.8.0 uses).
