python - TypeError: 'ItemIterator' object is not reversible

Question

I try to iterate in reverse order, but I got error "TypeError: 'ItemIterator' object is not reversible"

here is my code :

# Collect tweets
tweets = tw.Cursor(api.search,
              q=search_words, 
              lang="id",
              since=date_since).items(10)

# Iterate and print tweets
for tweet in reversed(tweets):
 print( tweet.user.screen_name, tweet.created_at, tweet.text)

any idea how to reversed the object?

Answer 1

tweets is a generator. so to use reversed you need to convert generator to a list.

so reversed(list(tweets)) can help you to reverse the tweets

# Collect tweets
tweets = tw.Cursor(api.search,
          q=search_words, 
          lang="id",
          since=date_since).items(10)

# Iterate and print tweets
for tweet in reversed(list(tweets)):
    print( tweet.user.screen_name, tweet.created_at, tweet.text)
