FAIL: Test the twitter.Status AsJsonString method about python-twitter HOT 17 CLOSED

I've experienced the same problem.

Me too.

What architecture, version of python, etc, are you guys using?

This patch resolves the test failures. My best guess is that simplejson's 
changes at
2.0.0 are to "blame" here. I tested on Fedora Rawhide x86_64, simplejson 2.0.3, 
and
simplejson 2.0.1 just for good measure, both needed this patch.

Hmm.  Unfortunately that breaks on non 2.0 versions of simplejson.  Should we be
bundling simplejson with twitter-python just to make sure there isn't a 
mismatch?

Where and how do I install the patch?

I think there are ways to enforce a version of a module, but I've never done it 
myself. I'm all for bundling, unless 
there are some critical problems fixed since this change. The change happened 
in 1.8, by the way, not 2.0.

The alternative could be to modify the simplejson stuff from the twitter module 
if simplejson's __version__ is 1.8 
or up. Kind of hackish and you have to disable the C encoder, but it prevents 
the need to bundle simplejson. 
Example patch included.

Hey guys, I am relatively new to Python and I'm unsure about how to install 
either of
patches that have been made available for this fix.  Would someone mind posting
instructions on how to install them or point me in the right direction?  I'd 
really
appreciate the help, thanks.

If you're on a Unix system, download the file to the directory containing 
twitter.py 
and type "patch < xxx.patch" in a terminal, where xxx is replaced by the name 
of the 
patch you want to apply. I've never done it in Windows before, so I don't know 
how 
people normally do it. Alternatively, you can just replace your twitter.py with 
the 
attached file. The only difference is the first if statement after the imports.

Hey Dan, thanks for posting that file.  I am on a Windows machine, and when I
replaced my twitter.py file, reinstalled, and tested again, my JSON errors were 
gone
but I got 3 new errors relating to the Status class - 

FAIL: Test all of the twitter.Status getters and setters
FAIL: Test all of the twitter.Status properties
FAIL: Test various permutations of Status relative_created_at

Not quite sure why these are occurring, any help you could provide would be
appreciated.  Thanks.

Ah, I was working on the development version of the library. Try this test file 
with 
it.

Great, that worked, thanks for the help with this issue!

Fixed in trunk. Please verify.

Issue 46 has been merged into this issue.

validated that it is fixed in the lastest svn.
