    The minimalist yet fully featured Twitter API class.

    Get RESTful data by accessing members of this class. The result
    is decoded python objects (lists and dicts).

    The Twitter API is documented at:

      http://dev.twitter.com/doc


    Examples::

        t = Twitter(
            auth=OAuth(token, token_key, con_secret, con_secret_key)))

        # Get your "home" timeline
        t.statuses.home_timeline()

        # Get a particular friend's tweets
        t.statuses.user_timeline(user_id="billybob")

        # Update your status
        t.statuses.update(
            status="Using @sixohsix's sweet Python Twitter Tools.")

        # Send a direct message
        t.direct_messages.new(
            user="billybob",
            text="I think yer swell!")

        # Get the members of tamtar's list "Things That Are Rad"
        t._("tamtar")._("things-that-are-rad").members()

        # Note how the magic `_` method can be used to insert data
        # into the middle of a call. You can also use replacement:
        t.user.list.members(user="tamtar", list="things-that-are-rad")

        # An *optional* `_timeout` parameter can also be used for API
        # calls which take much more time than normal or twitter stops
        # responding for some reasone
        t.users.lookup(
            screen_name=','.join(A_LIST_OF_100_SCREEN_NAMES), \
            _timeout=1)

        # Overriding Method: GET/POST
        # you should not need to use this method as this library properly
        # detects whether GET or POST should be used, Nevertheless
        # to force a particular method, use `_method`
        t.statuses.oembed(_id=1234567890, _method='GET')

        # Send a tweet with an image included (or set your banner or logo similarily)

            params = {"media[]": imagefile.read(), "status": "PTT"}

        params = {"media[]": base64_image, "status": "PTT", "_base64": True}

    Searching Twitter::

        # Search for the latest tweets about #pycon
        t.search.tweets(q="#pycon")


    Using the data returned
    -----------------------

    Twitter API calls return decoded JSON. This is converted into
    a bunch of Python lists, dicts, ints, and strings. For example::

        x = twitter.statuses.home_timeline()

        # The first 'tweet' in the timeline
        x[0]

        # The screen name of the user who wrote the first 'tweet'
        x[0]['user']['screen_name']


    Getting raw XML data
    --------------------

    If you prefer to get your Twitter data in XML format, pass
    format="xml" to the Twitter object when you instantiate it::

        twitter = Twitter(format="xml")

    The output will not be parsed in any way. It will be a raw string
    of XML.
