Twython 0.9 - enough has changed with the Twitter API as of late that this merits a new release. 0.8 was beginning to show age as the API moved forward, and is now deprecated as a result - 0.9 is the way to go (or trunk, if you're adventurous. ;D)

Description: Twython - Easy Twitter utilities in Python
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=========================================================================================
I wrote Twython because I found that other Python Twitter libraries weren't that up to date. Certain
things like the Search API, OAuth, etc, don't seem to be fully covered. This is my attempt at
a library that offers more coverage.

make a seasoned Python vet scratch his head, or possibly call me insane. It's open source, though,
and I'm open to anything that'll improve the library as a whole.
OAuth support is in the works, but every other part of the Twitter API should be covered. Twython
handles both Basic (HTTP) Authentication and OAuth, and OAuth is the default method for
Authentication. To override this, specify 'authtype="Basic"' in your twython.setup() call.
Documentation is forthcoming, but Twython attempts to mirror the Twitter API in a large way. All
parameters for API calls should translate over as function arguments.
OAuth and Streaming API support is in the works, but every other part of the Twitter API should be covered. Twython
handles both Basic (HTTP) Authentication and OAuth (Older versions (pre 0.9) of Twython need Basic Auth specified -
to override this, specify 'authtype="Basic"' in your twython.setup() call).
Twython has Docstrings if you want function-by-function plays; otherwise, check the Twython Wiki or
Twitter's API Wiki (Twython calls mirror most of the methods listed there).
Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twython requires (much like Python-Twitter, because they had the right idea :D) a library called
"simplejson". You can grab it at the following link:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson
> http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson
Example Use
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import twython
twitter = twython.setup(authtype="Basic", username="example", password="example")
twitter.updateStatus("See how easy this was?")
> import twython
>
> twitter = twython.setup(username="example", password="example")
> twitter.updateStatus("See how easy this was?")
