Twitter API

[Mario]

Good afternoon,

Is there a Twitter API that would allow me to update a Twitt via
Django? If so would you be kind enough to send me the link?

Not meaning to be too terribly sarcastic, but have you tried using
Google to search for "python twitter api"? The results, I promise,
will be satisfying.

Christophe,

Thank you for replying. Yes, I reviewed python twitter API, but the
model or the app is designed to pull down the "twitt". I would like to
upload a twitt via Django in lieu of using the Twitter front-end. Any
thoughts or suggestions?

I've used Twyt[1] for both command-line posting and for API usage. It's
all pure python and AFAIK doesn't have any dependencies outside of stock
python. Also, (nearly?) all the API is supported, so you can do other
things like delete posts, list, block users, etc. It's all pretty
straight-forward and well documented.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your issue, but the code running in
Django is just Python. There's nothing magic about it. If you want
your view functions to access Twitter via a Python Twitter API, it's
no problem to do so; you can also wrap your calls to Twitter inside of
a Model class, if that's a better fit.

Thank you for you suggestions. Btw, I created a mocked-up app and was
testing the functionality of the python-twitter. I read the docs as
posted at http://media.jesselegg.com/syncr/syncr.app.tweet.html.

I did a small unit testing and could see the results immediately, but
I could not create or update a twitt via Django. As I pointed out in
my early email, I want to create/update/delete a twitt in django in
lieu of the Twitter front-end.

I guess my choices at this point in time are either:

1. Twyt
2. Write a wrapper within the model.

Thanks again. _Mario

Every reasonable Twitter API I know of (including the Python ones)
allow the full range of Twitter operations, including creating,
deleting and reading tweets, so you shouldn't need anything more
exotic to do the job.

I am using http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/ on my own Django
website, works like a charm. Are you sure you are using the API
correctly?

api.PostUpdate(username, password, 'I love python-twitter!')

By the way, updating a tweet is impossible, as Twitter doesn't support
that. You can delete and insert a new one though.
