I get a strange error when i try to add a follow:

twitter.createFriendship(id=task['target'],follow=True)
errorHandler: Unmanaged error detected when Following: XXXX: Only unicode objects are escapable.

XXXX is the twitter id of the user (a long), contained in task['target'], so... no unicode posible :¿

I check is on createFriendShip, when i do the oauth, i get no error.

I'm absolutely lost... any help will be appreciated:

Additional info (tell me if need more)

Python 2.7.3
twython-2.4.0.tar.gz
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

Try:

twitter.createFriendship(user_id=task['target'],follow=True)

Keyword arg user_id instead of just id

Try: ``` python twitter.createFriendship(user_id=task['target'],follow=True) ``` Keyword arg `user_id` instead of just `id`

Also tried:

sc='ValidOne'
twitter.createFriendship(screen_name=sc,follow=True)
twitter.createFriendship(screen_name=sc.encode('UTF-8'),follow=True)

And i keep getting the "Only unicode objects are escapable." error

Really confusing for me.

Another try, I guess he expects for an unicode value, so, i ensure:

twitter.createFriendship(user_id=unicode(str(task['target'])),follow=True)

But, no luck...

Alright, don't worry about providing the stack trace. The issue comes where follow=True. requests doesn't like that. I'm working on a fix now.

Alright, got it.

You need to do this:

twitter.createFriendship(user_id=task['target'],follow='True')

requests doesn't like items that can't be converted to unicode and rightfully so.
So just pass True as a string instead. I just ran the code and it works for me: Follows the target user and turns on mobile notifications. However note: That the authenticated user MUST have a phone number associated with the account or else notifications will not be turned on. The friendship will still be created, they just won't receive notifications because well... they can't. Haha.

@ryanmcgrath You can close this. :)
