Tweepy streaming error

Question

I'm trying to analyze the sentiment of the tweets using tweepy and textblob. I did pip install tweepy and it was installed successfully, but I get the following error.

Error Message: File "C:\Users\joshey\Desktop\sent.py", line 2, in import tweepy File "C:\Users\joshey\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\tweepy__init__.py", line 17, in from tweepy.streaming import Stream, StreamListener File "C:\Users\joshey\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\site-packages\tweepy\streaming.py", line 355 def _start(self, async):

import tweepy
from textblob import TextBlob

consumer_key= 'CONSUMER_KEY_HERE'
consumer_secret= 'CONSUMER_SECRET_HERE'

access_token='ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE'
access_token_secret='ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET_HERE'

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

public_tweets = api.search('Trump')

for tweet in public_tweets:
print(tweet.text)

analysis = TextBlob(tweet.text)
print(analysis.sentiment)
print("")

Is there any problem with the tweepy installation or the code? Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem? I tried googling, but nothing worked. Thanks in advance.

Strange thing is def _start(self, async) is nowhere in the codebase, it's def _start(self, is_async). Where is 3.7 getting the former method from? — belteshazzar
Commit 18dad6f that fixed the issue had already been merged into master by the time I was looking at the source. pip install -U git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git works, before they make a formal release with the bugfix. — belteshazzar

"pip install tweepy" is still not currently functioning with python 3.7, roll back to 3.6.OB1 (and ignore the pip update recommendations).

should work then :)
