Twitter Status Update Python Script

Posting a status update on Twitter is very simple using Python. Here are the steps.

Youtube Demo:

• Setup a new application for your account on http://apps.twitter.com
• You will want to setup a read/write application
• Give it a name and a URL
• Twitter will give you 4 pieces of info you need
• Consumer Key
• Consumer Secret
• Access Token
• Access Token Secret
• You can find all these tokens and secrets under the Keys and Access Tokens Tab on twitter.
• Install the Python Twitter library using easy_setup
• Head to a command prompt and run: easy_install.exe twitter
• If you do no have Easy Install setup then google that and get it setup today. It makes adding modules to Python a cinch.
• Write the script
• Using your secret tokens and keys and your newly installed twitter module. Write a script like this. 

Using python twitter library to post to twitter: https://t.co/LlzyPf7GgK. Pretty slick. Blog post forthcoming.
