Python error syntax in the "tweepy" library-CodePudding

I've got an issue with the tweepy library in Python. I had no problem during the installation of brew, pip and tweepy.

Python version is Python 2.7.18.
Pip version is pip 21.3.1
Tweepy version is 4.3.0

My code is the following:

import tweepy

consumer_key="XXX"
consumer_secret_key="XXX"
access_token="XXX-XXX"
access_token_secret="XXX"


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

api = tweepy.API(auth)

print ("User Name:", api.me().name)
print ("Account (@):", api.me().screen_name)

My problem is this piece of code

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tweepy
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/tweepy-4.3.0-py2.7.egg/tweepy/__init__.py", line 12, in <module>
    from tweepy.api import API

CodePudding user response：

This issue is due to using Python 2.7.

If you are using a library you need to use a version of Python that it supports. According to Tweepy's documentation, "Python 3.6 - 3.10 are supported."

If you persist with using Python 2.7 you could face issues with other libraries as well.
