Fetching tweets from twitter using retun statament from a dict in list in python

So the below function is working for print statement but not for return stament How can i get the count no of tweets using return statement 

>>>import requests
>>>from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1
>>>import urllib

# Credentials to fetch
>>>consumer_key = '********'  
>>>consumer_secret = '******************'  
>>>url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json'



>>>def get_keyword_tweets(keyword, Count):  
   param = urllib.urlencode({'q': keyword, 'lang': 'en', 'result_type':
                          'recent', 'count': Count})  
   url2 = url.endswith('?') and (url+param) or (url + '?' + param)  
   auth = OAuth1(consumer_key, consumer_secret)  
   r = requests.get(url2, auth=auth)  
   tweets = r.json()  
   keywordtweets = tweets['statuses']  
   dict1 = keywordtweets[0:Count]  
   #data = dict1['id_str'],dict1['text']  
   for tweet in dict1:  
      data = tweet['id_str'],tweet['text']

The output i am getting when i am using the above function is

>>>In [1]: from http_twitter import get_keyword_tweets  

>>>In [2]: get_keyword_tweets("CWC15",Count=4)  
(u'578172948231495680', u'RT @ICC: Fascinating stat from Pool Stages with the breakdown of wickets in the tournament, just wait for #AUSvPAK!! \n#cwc15 http://t.co/Jw\u2026')

You are returning just 1 data at the end. You need to return a list or the whole dict as pointed out in a comment above.

replace:-

for tweet in dict1:  
  data = tweet['id_str'],tweet['text']  
  print data  
return data

By:-

data_list = []
for tweet in dict1:  
  data = tweet['id_str'] + tweet['text']
  data_list.append(data)
  print data  
return data_list
