updateStatusWithMedia still does not work for me ... (normal status update works great! )

  response = twitterImage.updateStatusWithMedia("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\python-twitter-0.8.2\\examples\\data\\1.png", status='thats me :)')
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\twython\twython.py", line 445, in updateStatusWithMedia
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\twython\twython.py", line 448, in _media_update
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\twython\twython.py", line 233, in post
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\twython\twython.py", line 225, in request
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\twython\twython.py", line 206, in _request
ython.twython.TwythonError: u'Unauthorized: Authentication credentials were missing or incorrect. -- Could not authenticate you.'

any ideas ?

i had the same problem. as a workaround until this gets fixed try editing

requests/auth.py to something like this (i commented out 1 line and modified 1 line):

def __call__(self, r):
    """Add OAuth parameters to the request.

    Parameters may be included from the body if the content-type is
    urlencoded, if no content type is set an educated guess is made.
    """
    print "requests/auth.py call"
    contenttype = r.headers.get('Content-Type', None)
    # extract_params will not give params unless the body is a properly
    # formatted string, a dictionary or a list of 2-tuples.
    decoded_body = extract_params(r.data)

    _ct = (contenttype is None)
    _ct = _ct or contenttype.lower() == CONTENT_TYPE_FORM_URLENCODED

    #if _ct and decoded_body != None:
    if decoded_body != None: #MODIFIED HERE
        # extract_params can only check the present r.data and does not know
        # of r.files, thus an extra check is performed. We know that
        # if files are present the request will not have
        # Content-type: x-www-form-urlencoded. We guess it will have
        # a mimetype of multipart/form-encoded and if this is not the case
        # we assume the correct header will be set later.
        if r.files:
            # Omit body data in the signing and since it will always
            # be empty (cant add paras to body if multipart) and we wish
            # to preserve body.
            #r.headers['Content-Type'] = 'multipart/form-encoded'
            #^^^^^COMMENTED THAT OUT
            r.url, r.headers, _ = self.client.sign(
                unicode(r.full_url), unicode(r.method), None, r.headers)

Closing this, as things should be alright now (thanks to @michaelhelmick for the tipoff).
