TypeError: GetHomeTimeline() got multiple values for keyword argument 'count'

Question

import simplejson
import httplib2
import twitter

api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer key', consumer_secret='consumer secret', access_token_key='access token', access_token_secret='token secret')

timeline = api.GetHomeTimeline('@username', count=20, since_id=None, max_id=None, trim_user=False, exclude_replies=False, contributor_details=False, include_entities=True)

print [s.text for s in statuses]

Forgive me, but I am new to coding and needed an answer to the error I am receiving "TypeError: GetHomeTimeline() got multiple values for keyword argument 'count'" I am trying to use the Twitter-tools library to retrieve my timeline — MaxxABillion
Yes, and in order for us to help you better, I want you to add the full traceback for that exception. — Martijn Pieters
Looking at the library source code I already figured out what the API expects. — Martijn Pieters

The GetHomeTimeline() method doesn't take a username; it return tweets for the current authenticated user. Remove the first parameter:

timeline = api.GetHomeTimeline(count=20, since_id=None, max_id=None, trim_user=False, exclude_replies=False, contributor_details=False, include_entities=True)

print [s.text for s in timeline]
