Python Development Techdegree Student 2,452 PointsTask 3 Solution?
Hi, this is my code for task 3 and it isn't working. Can anyone help?
"""
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 as err:
print("Oh no! Your message was too long (...)")

231,236 PointsThere's no single correct solution since there are several equally valid ways to format output. You might review the course with the lesson on exception handling if you want to see some examples.
