Actually if you look on developer.twitter.com, you will find some library that maps the twitter REST api to python methods. But I did not relay on that as it would have added more dependencies. I think that is something that you can use depending the application you are going to develop.
Things are simple even without external libraries, look for instance at the get_user method in db.py, how it gets user info: http://code.google.com/r/michelecomitini-facebookaccess/source/browse/applications/helloTwitter/models/db.py#81 def get_user(self): if self.accessToken() is not None: client = oauth.Client(self.consumer, self.accessToken()) resp, content = client.request('http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json') if resp['status'] != '200': # cannot get user info. should check status return None u = json.loads(content) return dict(username=u['screen_name'], name=u['name'], registration_id=u['id']) so you build a client, make a request to a REST api url (http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json) To post a tweet see: http://dev.twitter.com/doc/post/statuses/update in your controller you should write something like this: import oauth2 as oauth . . . @auth.requires_login() def sendtweet(): token = auth.settings.login_form.accessToken() # you can use this also if you prefer: token=session.access_token consumer = oauth.Consumer(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET) #<- CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET are defined in db.py client = oauth.Client(self.consumer, token) # encode the message message = 'My web2py post!" data=urlencode(status=message) #make a post resp, content = client.request('http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json', "POST", body=data) if resp['status'] != '200': #manage the error return dict(message="Could not send tweet! :-( ") return dict(message="Succesfully sent! :-)") if you call method returning some data I suggest tu use the .json version of it and use simplejson to decode it to a python dictionary (see the get_user() method above) hope that helps... mic 2010/8/30 Albert Abril <albert.ab...@gmail.com>: > Just a question: what do you use for post a tweet, read statuses... ? > Thanks in advance. > > On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 12:39 PM, Albert Abril <albert.ab...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> :) Thank you! >> >> On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 1:45 AM, Michele Comitini >> <michele.comit...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Hello all, >>> >>> I've uploaded a scaffolding app as example of authentication with >>> twitter oauth.
