h1. A new and easy way to access Twitter data with Python. h1. A new and easy way to access Twitter data with Python.
Tango takes care of authenticating a user with Twitter, so you can get full API access. Tango also wraps the Twitter Search API, something which other libraries don't do at the moment. As a final plus, Tango has support for OAuth with Twitter, while maintaining support for Basic Authentication. If that hasn't convinced you yet, check out the example code below: Twython takes care of authenticating a user with Twitter, so you can get full API access.

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 Other projects seem a bit outdated, or they don't cover the full API. Tango is (hopefully) the one Twitter library for Python that 100% covers the API, and is actively maintained.

Tango requires the "simplejson":http://code.google.com/p/simplejson/ library for parsing Twitter responses. If you intend to authenticate with OAuth, Tango requires the "OAuth library for Python":http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/python/.
