Question

this is probably a really simple question, but when you iterate over a function, how do you store all of the results in a variable, as whenever i do it, the variable only stores the first result?

for a in hometimeline['ids']:
   b = oauth_req(
    'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=1&user_id=%s'%a,
   '###########################################',  (these are just tokens)
   '###########################################')

thanks

Answer 1

use a list

b = []
for a in hometimeline['ids']:
   b.append(oauth_req(
      'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=1&user_id=%s'%a,
      '###########################################',  (these are just tokens)
      '###########################################'))

or a dictionary

b = {}

for a in hometimeline['ids']:
   b[a] = oauth_req(
      'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=1&user_id=%s'%a,
      '###########################################',  (these are just tokens)
      '###########################################')
