Tweepy filtering multiple location

So I am using the Tweepy to try and get streams from several squared locations to work on a GIS project. I tried using a list as a filter but it seems to not be possible:

l = StdOutListener()
stream = Stream(auth, l)
stream.filter(locations={[-4.62,41.97,10.49,51.1],[-87.6,24.73,-75.41,32.12]}) #Doesn't work

Does anyone knows if there is any alternative, since multiple threads would also not work since they check IPs so multiple Auths would not work either.

According to the locations section of the parameter listing in the Developer documentation for the Streaming end-point:

-122.75,36.8,-121.75,37.8,-74,40,-73,41

translates to

San Francisco OR New York City

so, accordingly, your code should be formatted to

... stream.filter(locations=[-4.62,41.97,10.49,51.1,-87.6,24.73,-75.41,32.12])

as a single list of all locations following the South-West and North-East grouping; thereby, as a sanity check please ensure that your locations list be a multiple of four (allowing for a latitude and longitude each for SW and NE coordinates for each bounding box) and also that NE coordinates > SW coordinates.

Please be sure to keep in mind that the stream API end-point permits the filtering of only

...25 0.1-360 degree location boxes.
