Python Oauth client for Twitter --------- I built this so that i didn't have to keep looking for an oauth client for twitter to use in python. It is based off of the PHP work from abrah.am (http://github.com/poseurtech/twitteroauth/tree/master). It was very helpful. I am using the OAuth lib that is from google gdata. I figure it is a working client and is in production use - so it should be solid. You can find it at: http://gdata-python-client.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/gdata/oauth With a bit of modification this client should work with other publishers. btw, i am a python n00b. so feel free to help out.

It is: if __name__ == '__main__': consumer_key = '' consumer_secret = '' while not consumer_key: consumer_key = raw_input('Please enter consumer key: ') while not consumer_secret: consumer_secret = raw_input('Please enter consumer secret: ') auth_client = TwitterOAuthClient(consumer_key,consumer_secret) tok = auth_client.get_request_token() token = tok['oauth_token'] token_secret = tok['oauth_token_secret'] url = auth_client.get_authorize_url(token) webbrowser.open(url) print "Visit this URL to authorize your app: " + url response_token = raw_input('What is the oauth_token from twitter: ') response_client = TwitterOAuthClient(consumer_key, consumer_secret,token, token_secret) tok = response_client.get_access_token() print "Making signed request" #verify user access content = response_client.oauth_request('https://twitter.com/account/verify_credentials.json', method='POST') #make an update #content = response_client.oauth_request('https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml',{'status':'Updated from a python oauth client. awesome.'}, method='POST') print content print 'Done.'
