python - Tweepy API : how to get a user's id from a status SearchResult object?

Question

我正在尝试编写一个脚本来关注 Twitter 上的人。 tweepy API 看起来不错，但我遇到了一些与从用户 ID 到屏幕名称的映射相关的不直观行为。

In [1]: import tweepy
In [2]: api = tweepy.API()

# get an arbitrary tweet
In [3]: tweet = api.search("anything")[0]

In [5]: tweet.text
Out[5]: 'Currently mourning the [potential] loss of around 500 pictures I took while in Oklahoma. Anyone know anything about Canon Rebels?'

# who tweeted it?
In [6]: tweet.from_user
Out[6]: 'helloregan'

# get the tweeters id
In [7]: tweet.from_user_id
Out[7]: 101962792

# i'm paranoid. just want to make sure its right.
In [8]: helloregan = api.get_user(user_id=tweet.from_user_id)           

# yep, same id.
In [9]: helloregan.id
Out[9]: 101962792

# lets check to see if its the same screen name? no. different person.
In [10]: helloregan.screen_name
Out[10]: 'kikiiputh'

什么给了？
