TypeError: replace() argument 2 must be str, not int

I am trying to scrape for Tweets using Twint. The goal is to get tweets based on a keyword and print them according to the custom format provided by me. While setting up the twint configurations to scrape , I faced the following error

<ipython-input-19-dc1bb332d2a2> in <module>
      5 c.Limit = 1
      6 c.Pandas = True
----> 7 twint.run.Search(c)

14 frames
/content/twint/twint/format.py in Tweet(config, t)
     21         output = output.replace("{hashtags}", ",".join(t.hashtags))
     22         output = output.replace("{cashtags}", ",".join(t.cashtags))
---> 23         output = output.replace("{replies}", t.replies_count)
     24         output = output.replace("{retweets}", t.retweets_count)
     25         output = output.replace("{likes}", t.likes_count)

TypeError: replace() argument 2 must be str, not int

The code I am trying is :

# Set up TWINT config
c = twint.Config()
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()
c.Search = "football"
# Custom output format

c.Format = "Username: {username} |  Tweet: {tweet}"
c.Limit = 1
c.Pandas = True
twint.run.Search(c)

I checked the format.py and the replace() function config looks like this

def Tweet(config, t):
    if config.Format:
        logme.debug(__name__+':Tweet:Format')
        output = config.Format.replace("{id}", t.id_str)
        output = output.replace("{conversation_id}", t.conversation_id)
        output = output.replace("{date}", t.datestamp)
        output = output.replace("{time}", t.timestamp)
        output = output.replace("{user_id}", t.user_id_str)
        output = output.replace("{username}", t.username)
        output = output.replace("{name}", t.name)
        output = output.replace("{place}", t.place)
        output = output.replace("{timezone}", t.timezone)
        output = output.replace("{urls}", ",".join(t.urls))
        output = output.replace("{photos}", ",".join(t.photos))
        output = output.replace("{video}", str(t.video))
        output = output.replace("{thumbnail}", t.thumbnail)
        output = output.replace("{tweet}", t.tweet)
        output = output.replace("{language}", t.lang)
        output = output.replace("{hashtags}", ",".join(t.hashtags))
        output = output.replace("{cashtags}", ",".join(t.cashtags))
        output = output.replace("{replies}", t.replies_count)
        output = output.replace("{retweets}", t.retweets_count)
        output = output.replace("{likes}", t.likes_count)
        output = output.replace("{link}", t.link)
        output = output.replace("{is_retweet}", str(t.retweet))
        output = output.replace("{user_rt_id}", str(t.user_rt_id))
        output = output.replace("{quote_url}", t.quote_url)
        output = output.replace("{near}", t.near)
        output = output.replace("{geo}", t.geo)
        output = output.replace("{mentions}", ",".join(t.mentions))
        output = output.replace("{translate}", t.translate)
        output = output.replace("{trans_src}", t.trans_src)
        output = output.replace("{trans_dest}", t.trans_dest)
    else:
        logme.debug(__name__+':Tweet:notFormat')
        output = f"{t.id_str} {t.datestamp} {t.timestamp} {t.timezone}

If there is anything anyone could help me with that would be great. If the question needs to be rewritten, also please let me know, not very good at forming questions.

The second parameter needs to be a str, not an int.

Use this instead:

output = output.replace("{replies}", str(t.replies_count))
