I have code in Python 3.6 and am trying to get this code to work, it's not picking up the tweets by the user I am following I have specified. I pulled the base structure of this from code I had functioning correctly that tracked keywords from the global twitter stream. Below is the line of code not functioning properly, due to it not picking up the stream.

stream.filter(follow=[user_id])

Here is the full code also as reference.

print("Starting scraper.py")
db = dataset.connect(settings.CONNECTION_STRING)
print("Connected to dataset")

class StreamListener(tweepy.StreamListener):

 def on_status(self, status):
 print(status.text)
 description = status.user.description
 loc = status.user.location
 text = status.text
 coords = status.coordinates
 geo = status.geo
 name = status.user.screen_name
 user_created = status.user.created_at
 followers = status.user.followers_count
 id_str = status.id_str
 created = status.created_at
 retweets = status.retweet_count
 bg_color = status.user.profile_background_color
 blob = TextBlob(text)
 sent = blob.sentiment

 if geo is not None:
 geo = json.dumps(geo)

 if coords is not None:
 coords = json.dumps(coords)
