    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 here:

      http://dev.twitter.com/doc


    Examples::

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

      # Get the public timeline
      twitter.statuses.public_timeline()

      # Get a particular friend's timeline
      twitter.statuses.friends_timeline(id="billybob")

      # Also supported (but totally weird)
      twitter.statuses.friends_timeline.billybob()

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

      # Get the members of a particular list of a particular friend
      twitter.user.listname.members(user="billybob", listname="billysbuds")


    Searching Twitter::

      twitter_search = Twitter(domain="search.twitter.com")

      # Find the latest search trends
      twitter_search.trends()

      # Search for the latest News on #gaza
      twitter_search.search(q="#gaza")


    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.public_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.

        Create a new twitter API connector.

        Pass an `auth` parameter to use the credentials of a specific
        user. Generally you'll want to pass an `OAuth`
        instance::

            twitter = Twitter(auth=OAuth(
                    token, token_secret, consumer_key, consumer_secret))


        `domain` lets you change the domain you are connecting. By
        default it's twitter.com but `search.twitter.com` may be
        useful too.

        If `secure` is False you will connect with HTTP instead of
        HTTPS.

        The value of `agent` is sent in the `X-Twitter-Client`
        header. This is deprecated. Instead Twitter determines the
        application using the OAuth Client Key and Client Key Secret
        parameters.

        `api_version` is used to set the base uri. By default it's
        nothing, but if you set it to '1' your URI will start with
        '1/'.
