Twitter listen script, dynamic search value? - quitte74 - Nov-01-2018
Hi guys,
I have the below "Twitter listen" Python script running on my Raspberry Pi. When it is running it is simply listening for tweets from a specific user based on the Id. But I need to change that Id dynamic (look at the last code line), maybe from the "def on_success"!?
But how do I do that? Any help will be appreciated.

def on_success(self, data):

#get handleID from tweet

twitter = Twython(

stream.statuses.filter(follow='123456789') #This should be dynamic = userid
