Twitter sent status 404 for URL: trends.json using parameters: ()

[talesp]

I'm starting with this project, and trying to do the same search for trending topics from the first page:

from twitter import *

twitter_search = Twitter(domain="search.twitter.com")

# Find the latest search trends
twitter_search.trends()

I get the error above.

Full trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>

I'm using Python 2.7, twitter 1.9

Hi,

Twitter changed their API, which invalidated this method. I will update the documentation to include a different example.
