List support
ibid
I'm a new user of tyrs. I like the interface so far.
Last night I started working on adding support for lists. I added a
buffer 'L' and I can pull in a hardcoded list for testing. To make it
usable I just need to add a menu where the user can select the list to
load into the buffer. I think I can bind the 'l' keypress to a menu
with a list of lists.
I hope this can be included upstream when it's finished.

instead for no other reason than that the key is available.
Submit via github In presume?

before, so let me know if something needs to be done over there.
Mostly done, I noticed two things, possibly related:
1. after the user enters the name of the list to load, the buffer is
not loading right away, but after I hit 'K', it moves directly to that
buffer from the home timeline even though the list buffer is all the
way at the right.
2 I have a line that I more or less copied from the search function,
#self.timelines['list'].empty().
This was causing a crash, so I commented it out. It looks like these
were fixed in the latest git version, but I haven't looked into what
it does.
Anyway, there's enough there that you can get a feel for how it works.
Press 'a', enter a list name, and it will appear in the far right
buffer.
I'll be able to more time in tomorrow evening if there's any interest.

Hi,
First, I'm sorry I couldn't answer earlier, and thank you for your
interest to Tyrs. I'll be pleased to look to you list implementation
and your pull request for sure.

You should read how to submit a pull request, if you don't already
know, as it simplify everyone life.

You really should always works with latest git version (check how to
fetch upstream if there is any changes in the main branch).

I'm looking forward.
Anyway, there is a guy, Alejandro Gómez, who send me a couple of mails,

started coding, but does read the code. I'm sure it could be an
interesting experience to communicate all together about the code.
Perhaps I should setup a devel mailing list for this kind of talks.

long term
plan for the UI or other feature support, I would like to hear about
it.

It has been merged, so it's cool, but there some improvement that could
be done.

I remember seeing the List object, but I did not see any method for
retrieving a list, only the metadata. However, looking over it again I
think I see the method I need to use. I think I can fix this pretty
quickly when I get home.

I can confirm that the current function works for private lists.

No problem. Thanks for the merge. I'll work on the improvements and
expand the list features soon. There are some obvious things like add
the highlighted user to a list, or add/remove a specified user to
list.

You need to use twitter.Api.GetLists, that retrieves some List
instances. But you certainly figure it out on your own.

Awesome, send some pull-requests any time you want :-)

method to get a Status instance from a list.
I found this issue here about lack of support:
https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=100&sort=-id
There is a patch in the comments that adds a GetListStatuses method.
It's pretty similar to my function, so I combined the two and moved it
to ApiPatch as GetListStatuses. This makes more sense because, like
you said, it uses the private methods of Api. And if this method is
eventually implemented in python-twitter, it will be easy to move to
that.
That issue was last updated 8/2010, so I don't think it's a high
priority for python-twitter devs.

I just merged, thanks and sorry for the delay!
There was another function broken, that's why there is an ApiPatch
indeed. So it's nice like that now, thanks a lot.
