PyTwerp vs latest Twitter API change ("since" param)

[vlb]

(reposting with a more appropriate subject)

As far as I can tell, Twitter's recent removal of the since parameter
and If-Modified-Since header
support for timeline methods has broken pyTwerp.

At least, my guess is that this is the problem as PyTwerp is now
getting the same stream over and over and over again, apparently
ignoring the fact that I just downloaded those posts 10 minutes ago. :-

Is there something I can do to patch my copy of PyTwerp?

Unfortunately, this is true. I have been using tircd myself these days,
but I did vote in the dev poll since I remembered this was how twerp
kept track of read state (apparently we were in the minority -- I think
this was a lame move on Twitter's part but oh well). It could be patched
to save a status ID instead of a date string. I don't have time to do
this myself at the moment :-(
