This is a simple implementation of twitter's chunked media upload api. Following points need to be noted:

I have added a separate endpoint for this instead of using the upload_media.
It needs a media_type as required by twitter. Though in my own project, I am using python mimetypes module.
It uses .seek to calculate size of media file if not given.
As twitter have a limit of 5mb per chunk upload, I am uploading in 1mb chunks. I had to use StringIO as helpers._transparent_params is checking for read attribute on file contents.

Please let me know what you guys think.

I also had to change something in api.py as twitter returns 204 No Content for append calls
