How to convert a Status Object to type String?

Question

I'm working with Tweepy, so I'm running into a problem where I need to change a status object to type String.

I looked over the Tweepy Documentation and couldn't find any information on how to. I've tried a couple of things but had no luck.

for s in tweet:
    sn = s.user.screen_name
    m = "@%s Nice Post" % (sn)
    s = api.update_status(m, s.id)

Let's say "tweet" is a "tweepy.models.Status" object, you can convert it to a string like so:

import json
json.dumps(tweet._json)
