Question

I went to twitter’s API, it redirected me to google code, and the website wasn’t there. Any alternative twitter APIs, plus tutorials? thanks!

Try Tweepy: http://code.google.com/p/tweepy/

You can get to a tutorial wiki page for it at the same Google Code link.

To install it with easy_install, just run easy_install tweepy

To install it with git:

git clone git://github.com/joshthecoder/tweepy.git
cd tweepy
python setup.py install

To install it from source, download the source from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tweepy then run something like:

tar xzvf tweepy-1.7.1.tar.gz
cd tweepy-1.7.1
python setup.py install
