nest_asyncio.apply()

c = twint.Config()
c.Lang='en'
c.Since='2020-08-01'
c.Until='2020-08-03'
c.Store_csv=True
c.Count=True

Description of Issue

Please use as much detail as possible.

The code pulls up 46 tweets however they are not getting written into the csv file. I have tried to specify the exact path and also to let it create a folder. I used the nest_asyncio to bypass the event loop is already running error. Please Help. Thanks

Same issue here ; what i did was to comment the line 56 from write.py
dialect = 'excel-tab' if config.Tabs else 'excel'
and remove the "dialect=dialect" form lines 60 & 64
60 writer = csv.DictWriter(csv_file, fieldnames=fieldnames)
64 writer = csv.DictWriter(csv_file, fieldnames=fieldnames)
Hope it helps :)

My write.py seems to be somehow different. Can't find the dialect=dialect. thoughts?

Experiencing the same problem too - twint is working, but I can't export to a csv file!

Make sure that you are changing in the right place (typically it it is the /usr/lib/pythonxxx/twint). What os are you using?

[shubhamg2001]

Using OS posix on a Mac. Yup looked up all write.py in twint files to make sure there weren't any duplicates. Couldn't spot one. Made the changes. Currently writing output in json and converting it to csv with pandas. Also new to this so not very well adapted to python.

After making the modification in write.py, you need to restart the script and import twint again. It should work.
