A Failed None Check causing a Error to attempt to call a function of NoneType Line 269 on twDataTypes

[TheLiveitup34]

In short I looked into the find_objects and seen it returns None when no value is found and the error came up of it attempting to call the function of a NoneType.

def _format_tweet(self):
        self._check_if_protected()
        self._tweet = find_objects(self._raw, "__typename", ["Tweet", "TweetWithVisibilityResults"], recursive=False)
        // code here fails to detect if  self._tweet is a value of None value and will fail with error trace back below
        if self._tweet.get('tweet'):
            self._tweet = self._tweet['tweet']

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/Tweety-archiver/main.py", line 190, in <module>

if you are comfortable , can you please share tweet id which caused this error

[TheLiveitup34]

Yes I'm more than comfortable i built the program to use the code you wrote to archive club penguin tweets for a friend and it may not be available to you due to it going private after closure but we're using a logged in session that has access to the tweets

to add to note to what he is saying
` def find_objects(obj, key, value, recursive=True, none_value=None):
results = []

def find_matching_objects(_obj, _key, _value):
    if isinstance(_obj, dict):
        if _key in _obj:

                found = True
                results.append(_obj[_key])

                found = True
                results.append(_obj)

            if not recursive and found:
                return results[0]

        for sub_obj in _obj.values():

if len(results) == 1:
    return results[0]

if len(results) == 0:
 // returns None here 
    return none_value

if not recursive:
    return results[0]

return results
