extracting tweet from Twitter API using Python - python-2.7

Question

I want to get every tweet of the HousingWire on Twitter (https://twitter.com/HousingWire). I understood how to authenticate into the twitter account but how I can get the tweet of HousingWire?
I know how to stream the data based on the keywords,but I want to stream the HousingWire tweet. how I can do that?
import time
from tweepy import Stream
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
ckey=''
csecret=''
atoken=''
asecret=''
class listener(StreamListener):
def on_data(self,data):
try:
print data
#tweet=data.split(',"text":"')[1].split('","source')[0]
#print tweet
#savethis=str(time.time())+'::'+tweet
savefile=open('tweetdb.txt','a')
savefile.write(data)
savefile.write('\n')
savefile.close()
return True
except BaseException,e:
print 'failed on data',str(e)
time.sleep(5)
def on_error(self,status):
print status
auth=OAuthHandler(ckey,csecret)
auth.set_access_token(atoken,asecret)
twitterStream=Stream(auth,listener())
twitterStream.filter(track=["stock"])

You can use the below Python script to grab the last 3,240 tweets from HousingWire (Twitter only allows access to that many tweets from a user - no way to grab the complete history). Usage: Simply put their twitter screen name in the script.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# encoding: utf-8
import tweepy #https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy
import csv
#Twitter API credentials
consumer_key = ""
consumer_secret = ""
access_key = ""
access_secret = ""
def get_all_tweets(screen_name):
#Twitter only allows access to a users most recent 3240 tweets with this method
#authorize twitter, initialize tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_key, access_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
#initialize a list to hold all the tweepy Tweets
alltweets = []
#make initial request for most recent tweets (200 is the maximum allowed count)
new_tweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name = screen_name,count=200)
#save most recent tweets
alltweets.extend(new_tweets)
#save the id of the oldest tweet less one
oldest = alltweets[-1].id - 1
#keep grabbing tweets until there are no tweets left to grab
while len(new_tweets) > 0:
print "getting tweets before %s" % (oldest)
#all subsiquent requests use the max_id param to prevent duplicates
new_tweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name = screen_name,count=200,max_id=oldest)
#save most recent tweets
alltweets.extend(new_tweets)
#update the id of the oldest tweet less one
oldest = alltweets[-1].id - 1
print "...%s tweets downloaded so far" % (len(alltweets))
#transform the tweepy tweets into a 2D array that will populate the csv
outtweets = [[tweet.id_str, tweet.created_at, tweet.text.encode("utf-8")] for tweet in alltweets]
#write the csv
with open('%s_tweets.csv' % screen_name, 'wb') as f:
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerow(["id","created_at","text"])
writer.writerows(outtweets)
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
#pass in the username of the account you want to download
get_all_tweets("J_tsar")
