The best way to get a list of followers in Python with Tweepy

Question

Is there a better way to get a list of followers screen names with Tweepy than this:

for follower in api.followers_ids(\'twitter\'):
    print api.get_user(f         


        

Answer 1

I think this is more efficient:

for user in tweepy.Cursor(api.followers, screen_name="twitter").items():
    print user.screen_name

FYI, it uses followers/list twitter API call.
