argument 'safe' is not recognized by urlencode from urllib with python 2.7

[traut]

I was trying to use the latest version from the trunk and I've got this exception:

 File "/Users/andrew/appwiser/appwiser/p27/src/twitter/twitter/api.py", line 159, in call
   arg_data = self.auth.encode_params(uriBase, method, kwargs)
 File "/Users/andrew/appwiser/appwiser/p27/src/twitter/twitter/oauth.py", line 105, in encode_params
   enc_params = urlencode_noplus(sorted(params.items()))
 File "/Users/andrew/appwiser/appwiser/p27/src/twitter/twitter/oauth.py", line 132, in urlencode_noplus
   return urlencode(query, safe='~').replace("+", "%20")
TypeError: urlencode() got an unexpected keyword argument 'safe'

I'm using python 2.7 and twitter/oauth.py imports urlencode from urllib. This urlencode does not support 'safe' argument

I had the same error today and i solved it by removing the setup-tools module and reinstalling it
Instead of doing apt-get setup-tools download from source and install it
I used 0.6c11
:)
Hope that's a fix for you as well (I actually registered just to give you an answer)

i am also getting the same error,i am using a windows machine, what should i do ?

[giorkosman]

How did you install the module ?
On my windows machine i use Active State Python which comes with an installation module named easy_install
So in cmd type easy_install twitter. Try this and tell me (You can install easy install with any python you have)
