Collecting data on keywords

Now that we've set up the authentication, we can begin to collect Twitter data. Recall that with the Streaming API, we will be collecting real-time Twitter data based on either a sample or filtered by a keyword.

In our example, we will collect data on any tweet mentioning #rstats or #python in the tweet text, username, or user description with the filter endpoint.

The SListener module has already been defined and imported for you.
