I have the following error:

Hi, the example works for me.
That error basically says that at some point, we try to print/display one thing but get two.
I suspect you might be getting an error which can't be displayed.
Could you try the raw call:

result, tweets = fetch_user_tweets("lessig")

And post the contents of result and tweets?

I recently had the same issue but it disappeared after downloading a fresh clone. Do you have an up-to-date version of the package on your system, @JoseCR99 ?

Thanks for the hint, @Millesimus. Always worth trying out.
