I can't authorize/I dont know how to

[DaComeaux]

What steps do I need to take to authorize Creepy?

I have the program installed and running, but no matter what user I search, Creepy returns 0 location results. It finds tweets, but no locations.

When I press the "authorize" under the twitter tab in settings, nothing happens. I press the button, and nothing happens at all.

What is the pin I'm supposed to enter, and where do I find one? I could not find any reference to this pin in any of the readme's or installation txts. I think in one of these posts the creator mentioned a "log in with twitter" option. DOes that exist, and if so where is it?

I just wanted to search myself and am having the same issue. What is this pin im supposed to enter? My system time is correct etc......looks like this guy hasn't been around for two years! He responded 3 months ago but never answered any questions. DELETE!

And BTW...I did read the wiki page. When you click authorize...nothing happens. Pop up blockers are all off. Twitter authorization doesn't open up. no pin is given.

Same issue here. Maybe it's because of the outdated API? #32

This is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Close as invalid for now, the soon to be released v1.0 handles this.
