If the ‘session’ was passed as an argument of session to Twitter , your session will be save in session.tw_session file , if it is ‘kharltayyab’ , session will be saved in kharltayyab.tw_session

Now using the same session name ,you can load the previous session from file

Attention

If the session file is in different directory , make sure to provide the relative path.

from tweety import Twitter

app = Twitter("session")
app.connect()
# as 'session.tw_session' is already a authenticated session file , the session can be loaded using  `connect` method

print(app.me)
