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.
|
|
|
|
This is my first library I've ever written in Python, so there could be some stuff in here that'll
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example Use
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
import twython
|
|
|
|
twitter = twython.setup(authtype="Basic", username="example", password="example")
|
|
twitter.updateStatus("See how easy this was?")
|
|
|
|
|
|
Twython 3k
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
There's an experimental version of Twython that's made for Python 3k. This is currently not guaranteed
|
|
to work, but it's provided so that others can grab it and hack on it. If you choose to try it out,
|
|
be aware of this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Questions, Comments, etc?
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
My hope is that Twython is so simple that you'd never *have* to ask any questions, but if
|
|
you feel the need to contact me for this (or other) reasons, you can hit me up
|
|
at ryan@venodesigns.net.
