python - Using the twitter API in Django -

i've been using python twitter tools automate stuff (automatically add tweets favourite etc.). useful, thought i'd turn open-source program called "mojito". problem i'm not expert in python/django, , i'm stuck here:

this form used collect 2 variables: mkeyword (the keyword on twitter) , mcount (how many tweets):

from django import forms  class getvariables(forms.form):     mkeyword = forms.charfield(max_length=100)     mcount = forms.integerfield(max_value=100, min_value=1) 

i have "mojitoform" function uses python-twitter-tools' auto_fav function. both below:

def mojitoform (request): try:     form = getvariables(request.post)     if form.is_valid():     mkeyword = form.cleaned_data['mkeyword']      mcount = form.cleaned_data['mcount']     success = true     tweets = auto_fav( mkeyword, mcount)['text'] except:     notloggedin = true return render (request, '../templates/dashboard.html', locals()) 

this "auto_fav()" , "search_tweets()" function:

def auto_fav(q, count=100, result_type="recent"):     """     favorites tweets match phrase (hashtag, word, etc.)     """     result = search_tweets(q, count, result_type)     tweet in result["statuses"]:         try:             # don't favorite own tweets             if tweet["user"]["screen_name"] == twitter_handle:                 continue              result = t.favorites.create(_id=tweet["id"])             print("favorited: %s" % (result["text"].encode("utf-8")))          # when have favorited tweet, error thrown         except twitterhttperror e:             print("error: %s" % (str(e)))   def search_tweets(q, count=100, result_type="recent"): return t.search.tweets(q=q, result_type=result_type, count=count) 

my problem is: when run mojitoform, doesn't take account "mcount" variable. 1 tweet favourited everytime. weird because auto_fav() script works fine when run on shell, on django it'll ignore mcount variable.. i've twisted every way around, i'm lost.
