Try:

1 2	with open('results.csv', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as csvFile:     getFollowers(csvFile)

thank you, the script seems to be working, letting it run via CMD. are you good with twitter scripts ?

is there anyway to add a filter that user scraped doesnt have 2000+ followers dont exract ?

I would say no,as i only use Twitter as news source and never post there.
But it's Python and network(web HTTP) and there i have some knowledge.

It's depend on what tweepy API has build in.
If i take a quick look at doc.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

# In this example, the handler is time.sleep(15 * 60), # but you can of course handle it in any way you want.   def limit_handled(cursor):     while True:         try:             yield cursor.next()         except tweepy.RateLimitError:             time.sleep(15 * 60)   for follower in limit_handled(tweepy.Cursor(api.followers).items()):     if follower.friends_count < 2000:        # Do scraping here

I not sure what you want,it can also be problem if you start with this and have limit knowledge about Python.
I can try to give some hint with untested code,as i have not done any authentication process to use tweetpy.
