Django Integration for Twython -- the actively maintained, pure Python wrapper for the Twitter API. Supports both normal and streaming Twitter APIs
Project description
(An example Django Python Twitter OAuth Application, using Twython)
OAuth is an annoying specification to work with. Twitter has an awesome and somewhat unique real time data stream, though, and it’d be a shame to miss out on that stuff because of the warts of a specification.
Twython supports OAuth authentication with Twitter now, and this is a sample Django application to get people up and running (fairly) instantly with Twitter OAuth in Django. Enjoy.

If you need help with the Twython library itself, check out the project on Github. It’s all pretty self contained (twython/endpoints.py contains just about every function definition you’ll need):
