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. Twython also wraps the Twitter Search API, something which other libraries don't do at the moment. As a final plus, Twython (will have) support for OAuth with Twitter, while maintaining support for Basic Authentication. If that hasn't convinced you yet, check out the example code below:
<pre>
<code>
import tango
import twython
# Create a Tango instance using Basic (HTTP) Authentication and update our Status
twitter = tango.setup(authtype="Basic", username="example", password="example")
twitter = twython.setup(authtype="Basic", username="example", password="example")
twitter.updateStatus("See how easy this was?")
</code>
</pre>
h1. 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 Other projects seem a bit outdated, or they don't cover the full API. Tango is (hopefully) the one Twitter library for Python that 100% covers the API, and is actively maintained.

h1. What does Tango require?
h1. What does Twython require?
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/.

h1. I have a patch, can I contribute back?
Tango 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.
