`expansions` does not work with `author_id`

In the example mentioned in the readme:

from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI
api = TwitterAPI(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, access_token_secret, api_version='2')
r = api.request('tweets/search/recent', {
        'query':'pizza',
        'tweet.fields':'author_id',
        'expansions':'author_id'})
for item in r:
        print(item)

The output is:

{'author_id': '1391673635899838465', 'id': '1538467334440075266', 'text': 'Ben: salata mı yesem pizza mı\nİç ses: https://t.co/ocGwL5idxW'}
{'author_id': '933644807498620928', 'id': '1538467332384768000', 'text': 'Am I fat bitch for eating leftover pizza? Yes. Am I going to keep doing it? Also yes'}
{'author_id': '25718318', 'id': '1538467331931877377', 'text': 'RT @milaghorayeb: I know you live in an open air prison but we have Gay Pizza https://t.co/ZyV0CNQawO'}

....

As you can see, there is no includes object. Looks like a bug, right?

Hi -
Nope, not a bug. Print r.text and you will see the full response with includes, etc. Also, look at the examples for "hydrate" which gets you for fields for any particular ID.

Ah yes you are right - doing json.loads(r.text) got me what I wanted. Thanks for responding!
