Work in Progress...

SDK to provide an abstract and encapsulated way to comunicate and use Twitter API (in Python).

Installation

This project is available via PyPi, you just need to run this command above

$ pip install twittersdk

Setup

After installation, you can simply import in your Python project.

from twittersdk import Twitter, OAuth2Handler
