Public bug reported: The current version was built before Twitter changed from Basic Auth to Oauth. So it is 100% unusable.
You need to update it to the latest code base: python-twitter-0.8.2. which includes all of the Oauth2 stuff. Even the simplest python script: import twitter import ConfigParser if __name__ == '__main__': conf = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() conf.read("/etc/twitter-proxy/twitter.ini") api = twitter.Api( consumer_key=conf.get("twitter","CONSUMER_KEY"), consumer_secret=conf.get("twitter","CONSUMER_SECRET"), access_token_key=conf.get("twitter","TOKEN"), access_token_secret=conf.get("twitter","TOKEN_SECRET") ) print api.VerifyCredentials() fails to run. ** Affects: python-twitter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997664 Title: This package is unusable.
