Hi i have just started to evaluate different options for python>Twitter api:s.

I have written some code looking at the examples in the Twython package but i always end up getting the same error. 

AttributeError: 'Twython' object has no attribute 'auth'

I also get the same error running the included core_example files.

I am running “2.0.0” from git.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python /Users/skjortan/dev/trunk/3rdPartyLibs/twython/core_examples/current_trends.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/skjortan/dev/trunk/3rdPartyLibs/twython/core_examples/current_trends.py", line 5, in <module>
    trends = twitter.getCurrentTrends()
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/twython-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/twython/twython.py", line 167, in <lambda>
    return lambda **kwargs: self._constructFunc(key, **kwargs)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/twython-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/twython/twython.py", line 188, in _constructFunc
    content = self._request(url, method=method, params=kwargs)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/twython-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/twython/twython.py", line 205, in _request
    response = func(url, data=myargs, auth=self.auth)
AttributeError: 'Twython' object has no attribute 'auth'

Process finished with exit code 1

    I noticed your question – I’m the author of Twython. A fix has been committed and pushed out for a 2.0.1 release. If you update your installation this should no longer be an issue.

    Thanks, sorry for the hassle! Bug that slipped by our 2.0.0 release.
