twitpy 0.0.5

A package based on the twitter api, search users of twitter and MORE!.

Setup twitpy

Let's install twitpy first and tweepy.

pip install twitpy
and
pip install tweepy

We are installing tweepy because i'm using tweepy to access the twitter API.

Now we need to actually setup the module by registring our API Keys.

import twitpy
Access = twitpy.accesstwitpy("access_token","access_token_secret","consumer_key","consumer_key_secret")

You need 4 API keys to access twitpy. You need a Twitter Developer Account for this, This is the MOST important step and without doing this you will not be able to access the API.
