## An easy way to access Twitter data with Python.
Twython is a Python API wrapper for the Twitter REST API.
<pre>
<code>
from twython import Twython
# Create a Twython instance
# Note: For OAuth examples, see the included Django application.
twitter = Twython()
twitter.searchTwitter(q="bert")
</code>
</pre>
## Does the world really need another Twitter API Wrapper?
Maybe you're happy with the current crop of Twitter libraries for Python, but I'm honestly a little dissapointed. Other projects seem a bit outdated, or they don't cover the full API. Twython is (hopefully) the one Twitter library for Python that 100% covers the API, and is actively maintained.
## What does Twython require?
Twython requires the "simplejson":http://code.google.com/p/simplejson/ library for parsing Twitter responses, as well as oauth2 for handling OAuth authentication.
### Install via pip
<pre>
<code>
$ pip install -I twython
</code>
</pre>
Installs Twython and all its associated dependencies.
## I have a patch, can I contribute back?
Twython is open source, so you can make changes, hack on it, update it, whatever you think works for you. If you make a change that you think might help the community, or you find and fix a bug, hit the project up on Github.
