Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

I can't even enter the oauth number.

I press the "Configire Oauth" button in "Edit Account", I get the web page and authorize Witter. Having written down the number I return to the Witter app, but then there is no way to enter the number!

I've done this, because Witter has been broken for a few weeks. It just hangs as soon as I start using it. So I deleted all .witter* folders in $HOME and thought I'd start over.

Why can't I enter the oauth number?!

BTW, neither Tweego or Mauku works. The latter just says "Rate limit exceeded" no matter what I do. (And I really think Witter is a far superior app anyway.)

Tweego refuses to log me in.

(Bonus rant: I wish all apps would keep their settings in a subdirectory to $HOME/.config/ and not pollute $HOME even if it's a hidden directory.)

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Just a quick note. It must sound like I'm not appreciating the hard labor done on the apps for my n900. I am! Please do not take my post above as an indication to the contrary. I am just a bit frustrated that a favourite app stopped working. I would not care if I did not like it.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

did you configure an account, then save then restart to get that log? or did you start, configure and fail to get tweets in that time?
it shows that witter didn't load any user account. there is no indication of configuring and account or requesting a refresh of the timeline.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

please take a screen shot of what you see on witter when you say there is no way to enter the oauth number. i'm assuming this is the development version you are using?

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

I've seen before where if the entry popup for oauth is there and I use the task switcher to go back to the browser, I can't get it to come back without exiting and reopening Witter...

@Dwould: New error with the last few versions of Witter. (I just updated to the newest version, still same problem)..

It loads all DMs and mentions, but only loads the latest 3 tweets from the timeline! ... Attached the log below:

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Is this a persistant error? it happens every time? This looks like bitly gave some bad/empty response and the bitly library didn't handle it, attempting to look for information in a null object. That hasn't changed in several releases, so it's not a new problem. I'm inclined to believe that bitly is at fault for a bad response. I could try to add guard code here, that would just not expand the URL in the event of a similar error, but I would expect the problem to go away on it;s own.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Yup.. just cleared bitly api key and tried on the latest version of witter.. still loads only newest 3 tweets.. some cache error (with the older cached tweets)??

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

could be, what is the new error? the previous was a bitly error, if you deleted those details and restarted witter, you would have had a new error, could still be due to similar root, maybe a weird char in a bit.ly url causing probs? no idea without a new log

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

PM'd the Log.. Along with some new stuff that came up for the first time! (Had to send as two pm's so it's truncated)..
