  • OAuthHandler

    • You may now pass in an optional ‘secure’ boolean to the constructor which will use https for OAuth requests. Ex: auth = OAuthHandler(token,secret,secure=True)

Version 1.4 (2009-12-10)

  • Added people search API method. API.search_users()

Example: s = Stream(‘test’, ‘password’, MyListener()) s.sample(async=True) # threaded mode s.filter(track=[‘pizza’]) # synch./blocking mode

Version 1.2 (2009-10-16)

  • API

    • Added automatic request re-try feature Example: API.friends(retry_count=5, retry_delay=10) Retry up to 5 times with a delay of 10 seconds between each attempt. See tutorial/t4.py for more an example.

    • Added cursor parameter to API.friends and API.followers methods. Note: page parameter is being deprecated by twitter on 10/26

    • Update parsing to handle cursor responses. When using ‘cursor’ parameter, the API method will return a tuple with this format: (data, next_cursor, prev_cursor) Calls not using the ‘cursor’ parameter are not changed in the way they return.

    • API.friends_ids and API.followers_ids now return a list of integers. Parser updated to handle cursor responses. See above.

    • Fix Status.source_url parsing

    • Fix search result ‘source’ parsing to properly unescape html and extract source

    • Status: added retweet, favorite and retweets methods (NOTE: retweet API not live yet on twitter)

  • Python 2.4 support

  • Update OAuth bundled library.
