Your code is producing the following error:

TypeError: send_to_twitter() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

Looking at the message, we see that this is a TypeError , which tells us that the send_to_twitter() function should get 0 arguments, however, you passed 1 argument by typing the term 'BUY!' , within send_to_twitter('BUY!') .

At the beginning of the code, we see that the send_to_twitter() function was created without asking for any arguments.

Try changing the snippet:

def send_to_twitter():
    import sys
    import tweepy
    ...

for

def send_to_twitter(msg):
    import sys
    import tweepy
    ...

Wrong:

def imprimirNaTela():
    print msg

Correct:

def imprimirNaTela(msg):
    print msg
