Getting Retweet and favorite count from Tweepy stream

I've been using Tweepy to listen to a Twitter stream. For some reason, all the posts have 0 favorite_count & retweet_count.

Do I have to go after some time and request an update for Tweet IDs?

I would expect to get any update from the stream object. Otherwise, it is very limited, even with the 100 IDs per request, as the rate is very low compared to the tens of thousands I'm getting in the stream.

If you're using the statuses/filter API, you're getting Tweets in realtime, so they've all just been Tweeted and wouldn't have any favorites/likes or Retweets.
