This seems to be an error that can’t solved for python 2 an 3 at the same time. Unfortunately, the only option would be using python 2.

from winbot-twitter-bot.

I fixed it by converting it to string

does the blacklist work for your bot? It seems that despite some user are in the blacklist the bot still retweets tweets of these users

from winbot-twitter-bot.

So far, the blacklist seems to work. I’ll have an eye on that one.

Would you mind posting the line that fixed the previous error?

witter.create_friendship(screen_name=screen_name)
add_line(screen_name, "follows.txt")
print("followed " + str(screen_name.encode("ascii", "ignore")))
except TwythonError as e:
print("FAILED to follow " + str(screen_name.encode("ascii", "ignore")))
