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: + +
+
+import tango
+
+# Create a Tango instance using Basic (HTTP) Authentication and update our Status
+twitter = tango.setup(authtype="Basic", username="example", password="example")
+twitter.updateStatus("See how easy this was?")
+
+
+ +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 Other projects seem a bit outdated, or they don't cover the full API.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? + +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. + +Tango was created, and is maintained, by "Ryan McGrath":http://twitter.com/ryanmcgrath.
