Having the exact same problem, pin pointed it to the requests library.
It would be nice to know what requests version does it work.
I got the error with updateProfileBannerImage running requests 1.1.0 on python 2.7.2

The changes in requests-oauthlib have JUST been merged in (https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib/pull/26#issuecomment-15727300). When a version bump to that library is pushed, I'll push an update to Twython requiring that version of requests-oauthlib

This should be fixed shortly!

I'm confused about this. @husainihisan's traceback there's no mention of requests_oauthlib
Neither is it in this one: http://pastebin.com/WWNx9TYn

Also, I tried installing the tip of requests-oauthlib but it didn't help.

What did help was to do this:

text = text.encode('utf-8')
twitter.updateStatusWithMedia(
    file_path,
    status=text
)

In other words, I think it's erroring somewhere else. By the way, I'm using requests 1.2.0 as per twython's requirements.

@mgrouchy Yes, I actually just talked to @kennethreitz yesterday about a possible new release of requests_oauthlib since there wasn't one with the issue was fixed.

Uploading an image works currently in master branch of https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib, so.. for now if you can; clone the repo and install it to your site-packages for the time being. If you can't, hopefully we'll see a new version on PyPi soon :)

@michaelhelmick thats so strange, because I installed like so:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib.git#egg=requests_oauthlib
and still no joy. That being said, my stack trace still looks like @husainihisan's.

https://gist.github.com/mgrouchy/5462228

Maybe something got messed up with the installation. I will investigate and see if I can dig anything else up.

Haha, sorry. I just tried installing every version of requests_oauthlib since this commit:
156543bb72

Even that commit doesn't work anymore.
I've tried requests 1.1.0 and 1.2.0..... it literally just worked the other day. My brain hurts. Let me get back to you on this later today (in like an hour) or tomorrow and figure out what's going on. I'm literally just dumbfounded right now. haha

@mgrouchy Alright, I was right: it is fixed at this commit 156543bb72 but breaks on the commit after. I'm talking to the guys in requests-oauthlib in an issue about it now. I'll keep you updated, or you can follow https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib/issues/36

@mgrouchy @peterbe @husainihisan @grillermo requests-oauthlib 0.3.1 fixes this. I updated setup.py to require that version only on new installs of Twython!

You can either:
pip install -I requests-oauthlib

or install Twython 2.9.0
pip install -I twython (warning: 2.9.0 offers fixed streaming. So if you are using Twython's streaming API, be sure to upgrade to use the new TwythonStreamer)
