[FIXED] How to use Tweepy set_access_token?

Issue

So I am a complete beginner to Tweepy, and I was trying to get started from their tutorial with the following code:

import tweepy

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

api = tweepy.API(auth)

public_tweets = api.home_timeline()
for tweet in public_tweets:
    print tweet.text

Before the OAuthHandler, I added the consumer_key, consumer_secret, etc as something like:

consumer_key = 'aslkjfdalskdjflsjlfsakdjflasjdkf' 
consumer_secret = 'ldsjlfksajldjflasjdljflasjdf'

access_token = 'asldkfjasjdfalsjdflksajkfdlasd'
acess_token_secret = 'alskjdflksajdlfjsalfd' 

Of course, with the proper values. however, when I run the whole example, I get nothing printed out. What am I doing wrong? I understand I am supposed to get a list of tweets back. Am I not supposed to pass the values in as a string? I tried looking for tweepy documentation regarding OAuthHandler but didn't really come up with anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Solution

For anyone else that might have this problem, it was a very simple issue– I created a new account and didn't have anything in my timeline. Naturally, nothing was printing.
