Comment:

 1. The keys & secrets can be obtained by signing up on dev.twitter.com (if
 you don't have an account, you need to create one on twitter first) & then
 creating an application. After the app creation (filling the form on
 dev.twitter.com/apps/new),
 you'll be redirected to the app settings page which will have the
 consumer_key & consumer_secret. The access tokens can be generated there
 itself.

 2. I am sorry, I need to improve on my documentation skills. Tweepy is a
 python library for creating twitter apps. Source -
 https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy
 Unfortunately, the deprecation of API 1.0 forces us to use OAuth, hence
 I've used tweepy. I actually skipped everything that was unnecessary so
 that the example can be kept as simple & readable as possible. Finally, as
 you might've guessed, I forgot to import tweepy. I need to improve on
 verifying too.

 So, we can not provide a tutorial using urllib anymore.
 And, dont forget to "import tweepy".
 Sorry for the mess-up. This bug shouldn't have been there in the first
 place if I had showed more courage on oauth. Won't happen again! :)
 Learning is fun!
