By friends I mean all of the twitter users who I am following.
Is it possible using tweepy with python 2.7.6 to display a full list of all friends?
I have found it possible to display a list which contains some of my friends with the following code. After handling authorization of course.
api = tweepy.API(auth)
user = api.get_user('MyTwitterHandle')
print "My Twitter Handle:" , user.screen_name
ct = 0
for friend in user.friends():
print friend.screen_name
ct = ct + 1
print "\n\nFinal Count:", ct
This code successfully prints what appears to be my 20 most recent friends on Twitter, the ct variable is equal to 20. This method excludes the rest of the users I am following on Twitter.
Is it possible to display all of the users I am following on twitter? Or at least a way to adjust a parameter to allow me to include more friends?

In order to get the number of followers we have to do the following : Identify the user ID or the screen name of the profile. Get the User object of the profile using the get_user() method with the user ID or the screen name. From this object, fetch the followers_count attribute present in it.
Steps to obtain keys: – For access token, click ” Create my access token”. The page will refresh and generate access token. Tweepy is one of the library that should be installed using pip. Now in order to authorize our app to access Twitter on our behalf, we need to use the OAuth Interface.
If you need more than 100 Tweets, you have to use the paginator method and specify the limit i.e. the total number of Tweets that you want. Replace limit=1000 with the maximum number of tweets you want. Replace the limit=1000 with the maximum number of tweets you want (gist).
According to the source code, friends() is referred to the GET friends / list twitter endpoint, which allows a count parameter to be passed in:
The number of users to return per page, up to a maximum of 200. Defaults to 20.
This would allow you to get 200 friends via friends().
Or, better approach would be to use a Cursor which is a paginated way to get all of the friends:
for friend in tweepy.Cursor(api.friends).items():
# Process the friend here
process_friend(friend)
