TypeError at /auth/login/twitter/

Question

I've been trying to add log ins with social networks to one of my django projects. It works fine with Facebook but Twitter is broken.

I keep getting a the following error when I try to auth with Twitter.

I have the Twitter backends added to my AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. I have the TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY and TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET set.

Can you post your code which is responsible to call twitter API? I mean code which is calling social_auth library. — anuragal
I'm using the socialauth_begin tag. <p>Login with <a href="{% url "socialauth_begin" "twitter" %}">Twitter</a>.</p> — truest.wizzle

I found the solution. I was using the django-social-auth3 which is the python3 fork of django-social-auth. I set up a new virtualevn using django-social-auth and I was able to auth with facebook, twitter and google+.
