Python-twitter 0.4
June 13th, 2007 by DeWitt Clinton

I released python-twitter 0.4 earlier today (homepage, download, source, docs).

This release brings the library back in sync with all of the new Twitter API functionality, closes the open issues, and introduces several new features.

Highlights include:

  • Unicode support
  • Support for sending direct messages, adding friends, featured users, etc.
  • Stopped using setuptools
  • Cleaner auth model
  • And more…

If you can do something via the web API, you should be able to do it in python-twitter. If you’re a python and Twitter hacker, please give it a try and let me know what you think.

    Great! Does it have lots of timeouts and retries for when Twitter goes down? ;)

    Cheers,

    Intentionally, no. But believe me, I’ve considered it.
