Project description
Python Twitter Tools
The Minimalist Twitter API for Python is a Python API for Twitter, everyone’s favorite Web 2.0 Facebook-style status updater for people on the go.
Also included is a twitter command-line tool for getting your friends’ tweets and setting your own tweet from the safety and security of your favorite shell and an IRC bot that can announce Twitter updates to an IRC channel.
For more information, after installing the twitter egg:
import the twitter package and run help() on it

The Command-Line Tool
The command-line tool currently supports the following things:
view your friends’ recent tweets
view your recent replies
view the public timeline
follow and unfollow (leave) friends
various output formats for tweet information
read your username and password from a config file
The bottom line: type twitter, receive tweets.
The IRC Bot
The IRC bot is associated with a twitter account (either your own account or an account you create for the bot). The bot announces all tweets from friends it is following. It can be made to follow or leave friends through IRC /msg commands.
Python Twitter Tools are released under an MIT License.
