2.Configure virtual environment

cd abhinav_test && virtualenv venv

3.Activate the virtual environment

4.Install tweepy

pip install tweepy

Hope this helps

Hi @Sadhana_Singh,

There are two solutions

1.Install tweepy 2.3.0 in your virtual environment…It should work

pip install tweepy==2.3.0

2.We already have tweepy in anaconda packages. You can import that.

export PATH=/usr/local/anaconda/bin:$PATH
python
import tweepy
