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:

import twython from twython import Twython

twitter = twython.core.setup(username="example", password="example") # Note: For OAuth examples, see the included Django application.
twitter.updateStatus("See how easy this was?") twitter = Twython()
twitter.searchTwitter(q="bert")
</code> </code>
