We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, ~~click~~open ~~on "Start", then "Computer",~~Finder and navigate to your Desktop directory.

Navigate to the directory that contains TwitterAPI (probably something of the form <code>~/Desktop/TwitterAPI</code>). * Open up the file <code>twitter_authentication.py</code> in your text editor. * You will see four lines that include four variables in ALL CAPITALS that are being assigned, in the normal ways we learned about last session, to strings.
