Add include_entities parameter to GetStatus()

Patch by gaelenh

https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=214

Change PostUpdate() so that it takes the shortened link into

account. Small tweak to the patch provided to make the

shortened-link length set by a API value instead of a constant.

AttributeError handles the fact that win* doesn't implement

os.getlogin()

Patch by yaleman

https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=217

As described at https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/trends,

GET trends (corresponding to Api.GetTrendsCurrent) is now

deprecated in favor of GET trends/:woeid. GET trends also now

requires authentication, while trends/:woeid doesn't.

Patch and excellent description by jessica.mckellar

https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=218

Currently, two Trends containing the same information

(name, query, and timestamp) aren't considered equal because

__eq__ isn't overridden, like it is for Status, User, and the

other Twitter objects.

Patch and excellent description by jessica.mckellar

https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=211

https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=206

All variations on a theme - basically Twitter is returning

something different for an error payload. Changed code to

check for both 'error' and 'errors'.

2011-05-08

https://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=184

A comment in this issue made me realize that the parameter sanity

check for max_id was missing in GetMentions() - added

First pass at working in some of the cursor support that has been

in the Twitter API but we haven't made full use of - still working

out the small issues.

2011-04-16

bumped version to 0.8.3

Issue 166

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=166

Added a basic, but sadly needed, check when parsing the json

returned by Twitter as Twitter has a habit of returning the

failwhale HTML page for a json api call :(

Patch (with minor tweaks) by adam.aviv

Added MANIFEST.in to give setup.py sdist some clues as to what

files to include in the tarball

2010-11-14

Setting version to 0.8 for a bit as having a branch for this is

really overkill, i'll just take DeWitt advice and tag it when

the release is out the door

Issue 175

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=175

Added geo_enabled to User class - basic parts of patch provided

by adam.aviv with other bits added by me to allow it to pass tests

Ran pydoc to generate docs

2010-10-16

Fixed bad date in previous CHANGES entry

Fixed source of the python-oauth2 library we use: from brosner

to simplegeo

I made a pass thru the docstrings and updated many to be the

text from the current Twitter API docs. Also fixed numerous

Imported work by Colin Howe that he did to get the tests working.

was happening for GetSearch()

Reported by huubhuubbarbatruuk

Issue 160

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=160

Patch by yaemog which adds support for include_rts and

include_entities support to GetUserTimeline and GetPublicTimeline

Small tweaks post-patch

Applied docstring tweak suggested by dclinton in revision comment

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/source/detail?r=a858412e38f7e3856fef924291ef039284d3a6e1

Thanks for the catch!

Issue 165

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=165

Patch by yaemog which adds GetStatus support.

Small tweaks post-patch

Issue 163

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=163

Patch by yaemog which adds users/lookup support.

Small tweaks to docstring only post-patch.

Changed username/password parameter to Api class to be

consumer_key/consumer_secret to better match the new

oAuth only world that Twitter has demanded.

Added debugHTTP to the parameter list to Api class to

control if/when the urllib debug output is displayed.

2010-08-25

First pass at adding list support.

Added a new List class and also added to the Api class

new methods for working with lists:

CreateList(self, user, name, mode=None, description=None)

DestroyList(self, user, id)

CreateSubscription(self, owner, list)

DestroySubscription(self, owner, list)

GetSubscriptions(self, user, cursor=-1)

GetLists(self, user, cursor=-1)

2010-08-24

Fixed introduced bug in the Destroy* and Create* API calls

where any of the routines were passing in an empty dict for

POST data. Before the oAuth change that was enough to tell

_FetchUrl() to use POST instead of GET but now a non-empty

dict is required.

Issue 144

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=144

GetFriends() where it was failing with a 'unicode object has

no attribute get'. This was caused when Twitter changed how

they return the JSON data. It used to be a straight list but

now there are some elements *and* then the list.

2010-08-18

Applied the json/simplejson part of the patch found

in Issue 64 (http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=64)

Patch provided by Thomas Bohmbach

Applied patch provided by liris.pp in Issue 147

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=147

Ensures that during a PostStatus we count the length using a unicode aware

len() routine. Tweaked patch slightly to take into account that the

twitter.Api() instance may have been setup with None for input_encoding.

2010-08-17

Fixed error in the POST path for _FetchUrl() where by

I show to the world that yes, I do make last minute

changes and completely forget to test them :(

Thanks to Peter Sanchez for finding and pointing to

working code that showed the fix

2010-08-15

Added more help text (I hope it helps) to the README

and also to get_access_token.py.

Added doctext notes to twitter.Api() parameter list

to explain more about oAuth.

Added import exception handling for parse_qs() and

parse_qsl() as it seems those funcitons moved between

2.5 and 2.6 so the oAuth update broke the lib under

python2.5. Thanks to Rich for the bug find (sorry

it had to be found the hard way!)

from changeset 184:60315000989c by DeWitt

Update the generated twitter.py docs to match the trunk

2010-08-14

Fixed silly typo in _FetchUrl() when doing a POST

Thanks to Peter Sanchez for the find and fix!

Added some really basic text to the get_access_token.py

startup output that explains why, for now, you need to

visit Twitter and get an Application key/secret to use

this library

2010-08-12

Updated code to use python-oauth2 library for authentication.

Twitter has set a deadline, 2010-08-16 as of this change, for

the switch from Basic to oAuth.

The oAuth integration was inspired by the work done by

Hameedullah Khan and others.

The change to using python-oauth2 library was done purely to

align python-twitter with an oauth library that was maintained

and had tests to try and minimize grief moving forward.

Slipped into GetFriendsTimeline() a new parameter, retweets, to

allow the call to pull from the "friends_timeline" or the

"home_timeline".

Fixed some typos and white-space issues and also updated the

README to point to the new Twitter Dev site.

2010-08-02

Updated copyright information.

r=3c05b8ebe59eca226d9eaef2760cecca9d50944a

tests: add .info() method to objects returned by our Mockup handler

This is required to completely mimick urllib, and have successful

response.headers attribute accesses.

Applied partial patch for Issue 113

http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=113

The partial bit means we changed the parameter from "page" to "cursor"

so the call would work. What was left out was a more direct way

to return the cursor value *after* the call and also in the patch

they also changed the method to return an iterator.

2010-05-17

Issue 50 http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=50

Applied patch by wheaties.box that implements a new method to return

the Rate Limit Status and also adds the new method MaximumHitFrequency

Multiple typo, indent and whitespace tweaks

Issue 60 http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=60

Pulled out new GetFavorites and GetMentions methods from the patch

submitted by joegermuska

Issue 62 http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=62

Applied patch from lukev123 that adds gzip compression to the GET

requests sent to Twitter. The patch was modified to default gzip to

False and to allow the twitter.API class instantiation to set the

value to True. This was done to not change current default

behaviour radically.

Issue 80 http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=80

Fixed PostUpdate() call example in the README

2010-05-16

Issue 19 http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=19

TinyURL example and the idea for this comes from a bug filed by

acolorado with patch provided by ghills.

Issue 37 http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=37

Added base_url to the twitter.API class init call to allow the user

to override the default https://twitter.com base. Since Twitter now

supports https for all calls I (bear) changed the patch to default to

https instead of http.

Original issue by kotecha.ravi, patch by wiennat and with implementation

tweaks by bear.
