umm how do you exactly change the source label? in which part?
I've checked tweepy's documentation for API.update_status but for the source parameter it says:
"source – Source of the update. Only supported by Identi.ca. Twitter ignores this parameter."
I tried customizing the source and yes it didn't do anything.

tweepy actually takes the name of the app which you created.
In this article, I created an app with name "A Tesla Lover" and I'm able to change the source label, which you can see from the last tweet in this article.

Ah I see.. I think the problem is that I didn't enable my 3rd party authentication, so it just tweeted without any source label. Thank you!

yes i've changed the permission to read & write before i changed the 3rd party authentication. i've found the same issue on the link and i guess it'll take some time until the effect takes place. your code is handier, thank you!
