This StackOverflow answer worked for me. I had to change the permissions on my account. Also, the code given here is much simpler:

Question
Here's my code for getting the followers and updating a status:
from twython import Twython,TwythonError
APP_KEY='mykey'
APP_SECRET='mysecret'
OAUTH_TOKEN='mytoken'
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET='mytokensecret'
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET, OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
followers = twitter.get_followers_ids(screen_name = "darcythegreat")
for follower_id in followers:
print follower_id
try:
twitter.update_status(status='My first status using Twython')
except TwythonError as e:
print e
And here's the LINK to my Twitter.
After running it I receive the following error:
python tweet.py
previous_cursor
previous_cursor_str
next_cursor
ids
next_cursor_str
Twitter API returned a 401 (Unauthorized), An error occurred processing your request.
Can you please let me know which steps I am missing?

OTHER TIPS
There are several reasons why a 401 can occur, some that aren't related to the code you've written. A common reason is a difference in clock times between your and Twitter's server. There are more and here is a FAQ written by @episod/Twitter that might help: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/204.
