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)

         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.

         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
+        > import twython
-
