1,505 PointsMultiple Errors in try block
I'm not sure why the code isn't working. Do you need to raise?
"""
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? ")
# Your code here
try:
tweet(message)
except CommunicationError:
print("An error occurred attempting to connect to Twitter. Please try again!")
except MessageTooLongError:
print("Oh no! Your message was too long (...)")
