AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split' when initializing TweeterPy

Since yesterday, I’ve been encountering the following error when calling twitter = TweeterPy()

2026-03-20 13:47:15,876 [ERROR] :: Couldn't generate a new session.

I have already tried updating the library to the latest version, but the issue persists. Could this be due to a recent change in X (Twitter)'s specifications?

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@icematerial Try the v3 dev branch, should be working.

Thank you for the suggestion. I successfully switched to the version-3-dev branch, but I’ve encountered a new issue.

It seems that generate_session is no longer available, and I get the following error:
AttributeError: 'TweeterPy' object has no attribute 'generate_session'

Has the specification changed in this version? If so, could you please let me know the new way to initialize or generate a session?

twitter = TweeterPy()
twitter.initialize(deep_scan=False)

Check the client.py module
