Error when trying to get full_text for a Tweet using Tweepy and Python

Question

I am trying to use Tweepy and streaming to track Tweets in real time. I am using the following which works fine:

import tweepy
import configparser
import sys

#read configs                                                                                              
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('config.ini')

api_key = config['twitter']['api_key']
api_key_secret = config['twitter']['api_key_secret']

access_token = config['twitter']['access_token']
access_token_secret = config['twitter']['access_token_secret']


class StreamCollector(tweepy.Stream):

    def on_status(self, status):
        if not hasattr(status, 'retweeted_status') and status.in_reply_to_screen_name == None and status.i\
s_quote_status == False:
            if status.author.followers_count > 100000:
                print('Twitter Handle: @'+status.author.screen_name)
                print('Followers:',status.author.followers_count)
                print('Tweet:',status.text)
                print('\n')
        #print(status.user.screen_name.encode('UTF-8'))                                                    


stream = StreamCollector(api_key,api_key_secret,access_token, access_token_secret)
stream.filter(track=["table"])

However, I want to produce the untruncated Tweet. I tried substituting status.text for status.full_text but I got the error:

AttributeError: 'Status' object has no attribute 'full_text'

My version of Tweepy is 4.5.0 and Python is 3.9.9.

Streaming is covered in Tweepy's documentation on extended Tweets:

By default, the Status objects from streams may contain an extended_tweet attribute representing the equivalent field in the raw data/payload for the Tweet. This attribute/field will only exist for extended Tweets, containing a dictionary of sub-fields. The full_text sub-field/key of this dictionary will contain the full, untruncated text of the Tweet
