Hi,

when you look at your twitter page you can see the name of the client
software used to post the tweet.
Do you know how the client can set that "from" field and how to do
that with twython ?

With the exception of 'grandfathered' applications, you must be using
OAuth in order to have the application name in "Posted From". The
Twython OAuth implementation is not yet complete, but my understanding
is that it is a high priority.

At last count, half this list is using Pinax. For Ryan's benefit, Pinax
installs python-twitter but doesn't appear to have anything that really
depends on it. I would hazard that OAuth completion is the only barrier
to slipping twython into Pinax before any dependencies evolve. That
would be quite a coup. ;-)

You know, that's quite the interesting theory you just brought up
concerning Pinax... I didn't think about that, but it's a very cool
idea.

OAuth is a pretty high priority, I've just had normal life take my
time for the past few weeks. If someone wants to take a stab at it
sooner, please, be my guest. Otherwise, I'd say it'll be around a week
or so before I can really tackle the problem. :(
