Total noob to this. I have set up a script that can send a tweet, all I want to do is print text before the enter message promt that displays the screen name of the account.
In my mind it would be something like
user_name = twitter.get_screen_name()
print(user_name)
I have loaded all the keys from my app etc.
I notice on varify_credentials it does have
u'screen_name': screenname
As you already note, verify_credentials returns a representation of the user that includes both name and screen_name. Therefore your method could look like:
def get_screen_name(twitter):
return twitter.verify_credentials()["screen_name"]
Then you can call it:
user_name = get_screen_name(twitter)
print(user_name)
Making this a method of the twitter instance of the Twython class would be more complicated.
