Error: PYTHON DJANGO PRAW REDDIT-API

Question

building locally a Django 1.8 web app in a Python 2.7 virtual env using Praw 4.4.0.

The project is called demonstration and has an app called app

Atm,

This is part of the result when going to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/profile/

app/views.py has the following code for profile:

# views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse
import requests
import praw


# Create your views here.
    def profile(request):
        reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='client_id',
                      client_secret='client_secret',
                      username='username',
                      password='password',
                      user_agent='user_agent')
        # assume you have a Reddit instance bound to variable `reddit`
        subreddit = reddit.subreddit('redditdev')

        print(subreddit.display_name)  # Output: redditdev
        print(subreddit.title)  # Output: reddit Development
        print(subreddit.description)  # Output: A subreddit for discussion of ...

As you can see in the second image, the name of the subreddit gets printed. Great.

Well, not so great. That was written in the code, so it's not picking up from Reddit, see:

subreddit = reddit.subreddit('redditdev')

print(subreddit.display_name)  # Output: redditdev

Once it actually tries to go to Reddit and suck up the data, this is the result:

print(subreddit.title)  # Output: reddit Development
print(subreddit.description)  # Output: A subreddit for discussion of ...

Using Debug mode = True, one can see the following in the page:

Problem: somehow, Reddit is not liking my login.

How can they start to like me and allow me to print the data?

What can I do better?

Thank you for your support

Fixed. The problem was:

username='username',
password='password',

Removed it and then started to work.
