I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't get this code right. Help please!
"""
This is importing a function named `tweet` from a file
that we unfortunately don't have access to change.
You use it like so:
>>> tweet("Hello this is my tweet")
If the function cannot connect to Twitter,
the function will raise a `CommunicationError`
If the message is too long,
the function will raise a `MessageTooLongError`
"""
from twitter import (
tweet,
MessageTooLongError,
CommunicationError,
)
message = input("What would you like to tweet? ")
tweet(message) # This is from Task 1 - good job!
try:
tweet("message") # You should still be using your successful code from the previous task here.
except CommunicationError:
print("An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!")

message = input("What would you like to tweet? ")
try:
tweet(message) # tweet from the previous task goes in the TRY block.
except CommunicationError:
print("An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!")
