Python-twitter api.VerifyCredentials() returns none

Question

I am using python-twitter api and i got consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret but when i try code below i got this output {} for print api.VerifyCredentials() and i got none for print status.text

import twitter

api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='**',
                      consumer_secret='**',
                      access_token_key='**',
                      access_token_secret='**')

print api.VerifyCredentials() #returns {}
status = api.PostUpdate('Ilovepython-twitter!')
print status.text #returns none

What do you think is problem here?

Answer 1

Here the problem was library 'twitter' for sure. Don't import 'twitter' use 'tweepy' instead and it will work.
