python - twitter stream JSON decoding -

so, have created geo map box gather tweets, , want more precise locations using long;lat.

i need out coordinates (long;lat separate) without rest of "coordinates" data.

im using tweepy , understand iam not decoding right can't seem understand why doesn't work.

and , how keep failing

input json

    {      u'contributors':none,    u'truncated':false,    u'text':   u'stundas tikai l\u012bdz 12.00 \u0001f64c\u0001f389\u0001f389\u0001f389 (@ r\u012bgas valsts v\u0101cu \u0123imn\u0101zija - @rvv_gimnazija in r\u012bga) https://t.co/xcp8ozqqgk',    u'in_reply_to_status_id':none,    u'id':599100313690320896,    u'favorite_count':0,    u'source':   u'<a href="http://foursquare.com" rel="nofollow">foursquare</a>',    u'retweeted':false,    u'coordinates':{         u'type':u'point',       u'coordinates':[            24.062859,          56.94697       ]    }, 

my code

class listener(streamlistener):     def on_data(self, data):          tweet = json.loads(data)           #print time.time()         text = tweet['text']         name = tweet['user']['name']         screenname = tweet['user']['screen_name']         location = tweet['coordinates']['coordinates'][0]          print name.encode('utf-8')         print text.encode('utf-8')         print location         print '\n'          # data file         open('mineddata', 'a') outfile:             json.dump({ 'location':location, 'time': time.time(), 'screenname': screenname, 'text': text, 'name': name}, outfile, indent = 4, sort_keys=true)             #outfile.write(',')             outfile.write('\n')          return true      def on_error(self, status):         print status   auth = oauthhandler(ckey, csecret) auth.set_access_token(atoken, asecret) twitterstream = stream(auth, listener()) twitterstream.filter(locations=[23.47,56.66,25.148411,57.407558]) 

the error

traceback (most recent call last):   file "loc3.py", line 45, in <module>     twitterstream.filter(locations=[23.47,56.66,25.148411,57.407558])   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 428, in filter     self._start(async)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 346, in _start     self._run()   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 255, in _run     self._read_loop(resp)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 309, in _read_loop     self._data(next_status_obj)   file "/library/python/2.7/site-packages/tweepy/streaming.py", line 289, in _data     if self.listener.on_data(data) false:   file "loc3.py", line 23, in on_data     location = tweet['coordinates']['coordinates'][0] typeerror: 'nonetype' object has no attribute '__getitem__' 

by looking @ other examples, looks argument receive in on_data parsed dict, not raw json. there no json read , therefore tweet ends empty.

the quick , simple fix change

def on_data(self, data):     tweet = json.loads(data) 

into simply

def on_data(self, tweet): 

and take there.

i note coordinates bounding box seem in wrong order -- location should specified southwest , northeast coordinates.
