You're getting 401 response, which means "Unauthorized." (see HTTP status codes)

Your code looks good. Using api.user_timeline(screen_name="some_screen_name") works for me in the old example I have lying around.

I'm guessing you either need to authorize the app, or there is some problem with your OAuth setup.

Maybe you found this already, but here is the short code example that I started from: https://github.com/nloadholtes/tweepy/blob/nloadholtes-examples/examples/oauth.py
