I just started using Ubuntu as my main OS and this seems like a good way to get to know my way around it. I will also play with your code and let you know if I can contribute to it.

I don’t use Twitter but I like the concept, and your tool is perfect

However, I don’t think everybody wants to go through installing that lib (unless there are distro packages),
so I made my own version using only HTTP methods (which are included by default I think)

anyway here is it

it’s still far from perfect but I tried it and it worked

Again very nice tool, I think I’ll give this twitter thing a try :)

@mithras86:

Try this:
wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

sudo python ez_setup.py

sudo easy_install -U simplejson

That should take care of the dependencies.

What should I do, easy_setup cannot be installed through the repo?
