Python + Tweepy, Status is a duplicate - python

Currently my Python + Tweep bot isn't working claiming the status is a duplicate. The exact error is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "helloworld.py", line 22, in <module>
api.update_status(line)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/binder.py", line 230, in _call
return method.execute()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tweepy/binder.py", line 203, in execute
raise TweepError(error_msg, resp)
tweepy.error.TweepError: [{u'message': u'Status is a duplicate.', u'code': 187}]
The bot source is here: https://ghostbin.com/paste/vbdn4 .
What can I add to work around this error?
Note that the first time running this there were no errors yet after stopping it and then going to run it again, I got this error.

you forget to step to the next line of the .txt file you're feeding in the for-loop (it does have multiple lines, doesn't it?), I guess....
I've got the same problem ;-) Tried to solve it with 3 different .txt files and give 3 args in a whlie loop, but this doesn't fly either.
We'll get there....

Using VS Code to debug python files. Exception thrown on breakpoint and breakpoint is ignored

Tried with multiple different python files. Every time I try to use the debugger in vs code and set breakpoints the breakpoint gets ignored and exception gets raised and the script continues on. I've been googling and tinkering for over 2 hours and can't seem to figure out what's going on here. Tried rebooting PC, running vs code as admin, uninstall/reinstall the python extension for vs code. Tried to dig into the files mentioned in the traceback and pinpointed the function that seems to be raising the exception but I can't figure out where it's being called from or why it's raising the exception. I'm still new-ish to Python. Debugging works properly on my laptop but for whatever reason my desktop is having this issue.

So I get this traceback every time a breakpoint is hit. Taking a peek at the "_original_file_to_client" function in "pydevd_file_utils.py" we get this:
def _original_file_to_client(filename, cache={}):
try:
return cache[filename]
except KeyError:
translated = _path_to_expected_str(get_path_with_real_case(_AbsFile(filename)))
cache[filename] = (translated, False)
return cache[filename]
I wasn't able to figure out where this function was being called from or what the expected output was supposed to be. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Forgot to mention I'm using Windows 10 if it wasn't obvious from the trace
This is a similar question. The spaces in the filename cause this problem:
"Local Settings", "application data"

apixu.client.ApixuException: Error code 1003: "Parameter q is missing."

I do not understand the error I got this time, I'm running the apixu.com API on rasa_core when running even issued this kind of error, can you help me to explain it?

You have to have q as a parameter in the url. apixu alovs you to find the weather of a city using lontitude and latitude, city name, ZIP codes, and so on. but no matter what you use, you have to have q in the url. in the link below, you can see how you can use the parameter q.

Tweepy issues with twitter bot and python

I have a few twitterbots that I run on my raspberryPi. I have most functions wrapped in a try / except to ensure that if something errors it doesn't break the program and continues to execute.
I'm also using Python's Streaming library as my source of monitoring for the tags that I want the bot to retweet.
Here is an issue that happens that kills the program although I have the main function wrapped in a try/except:
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function startBot5 at 0x762fbed0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "TwitButter.py", line 151, in startBot5
'<botnamehere>'
File "/home/pi/twitter/bots/TwitBot.py", line 49, in __init__
self.startFiltering(trackList)
File "/home/pi/twitter/bots/TwitBot.py", line 54, in startFiltering
self.myStream.filter(track=tList)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 445, in filter
self._start(async)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 361, in _start
self._run()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 294, in _run
raise exception
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 263, in _run
self._read_loop(resp)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 313, in _read_loop
line = buf.read_line().strip()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'
My setup:
I have a parent class TwitButter.py, that creates an object from the TwitBot.py. These objects are the bots, and they are started on their own thread so they can run independently.
I have a function in the TwitBot that runs the startFiltering() function. It is wrapped in a try/except, but my except code is never triggered.
My guess is that the error is occurring within the Streaming library. Maybe that library is poorly coded and breaks on the line that is specified at the bottom of the traceback.
Any help would be awesome, and I wonder if others have experienced this issue?
I can provide extra details if needed.
Thanks!!!
This actually is problem in tweepy that was fixed by github #870 in 2017-04. So, should be resolved by updating your local copy to latest master.
What I did to discover that:
Did a web search to find the tweepy source repo.
Looked at streaming.py for context on the last traceback lines.
Noticed the most recent change to the file was the same problem.
I'll also note that most of the time you get a traceback from deep inside a Python library, the problem comes from the code calling it incorrectly, rather than a bug in the library. But not always. :)

Python Dropbox API - Invalid "cursor" parameter

I've been migrating some Python 2.7.11 code to 3.5.1 after running into trouble with unicode. This was the last straw - since I started using the venv module there's no reason to be on 2.7 just because someone doesn't like 3!
The problem occurs while trying to run a one-way sync (ie. downloading changes only).
Here is the full error message, paths shortened:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "%SCRIPT%.py", line 209, in <module>
updated_schedules = dbx_sync.One_Way_Sync(config['Dropbox Parameters']['Directory'], config['Dropbox Parameters']['Base Path'])
File "%COMMON_PATH%\modules\dropbox_sync_schedules.py", line 62, in One_Way_Sync
result = client.delta(cursor, base_path)
File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\client.py", line 569, in delta
return self.rest_client.POST(url, params, headers)
File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\rest.py", line 322, in POST
return cls.IMPL.POST(*n, **kw)
File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\rest.py", line 260, in POST
is_json_request=is_json_request)
File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\rest.py", line 235, in request
raise ErrorResponse(r, r.read())
dropbox.rest.ErrorResponse: [400] 'Invalid "cursor" parameter: u"b\'\'"'
Searching for "invalid cursor parameter" wasn't any help, so I thought I'd come here.
u"b\'\'" is the key here. I just couldn't understand how that representation had ended up being sent as a string.
The issue was in reading the old cursor from a file (which for this example is empty): in Python 2 I had opened the file in mode rb - in Python 3 just r is all that's required, and everything works.
Hurrah!

ExpatError: no element found - Python script

Using OS X 10.6.8, libxml 2-2.7.8, libxslt-1.1.26, and python 2.6, I'm trying to run the tumblrRestore.py script linked here:
https://github.com/hughsaunders/Tumblr-Restore/blob/master/tumblrRestore.py
It ran successfully and restored 76 posts before crashing.
However on second run I got an ExpatError: no element found, and have not been able to run it successfully since - it always produces this same error now. Error text:
Tumblr Restore
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tumblrRestore.py", line 264, in <module>

self._parser.Parse("", 1) # end of data
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0
I'm wondering whether I have the wrong or competing or outdated versions of python or lxml, though that still doesn't explain why the script ran successfully once.
Complete newbie, any advice appreciated.
Check your extract_xml_string method of BackupParser class. It definitely returns empty string, because your begin_re regular expresssion doesn't match xml header.
Try the next one:
begin_re = re.compile("<\? xml .*\?>")
