python-twitter-0.8.1 has been released which adds support for OAuth authentication that is now required by the Twitter APIs. Please bump, thanks!
Created attachment 264137 [details] ebuild for =dev-python/python-twitter-0.8.1 One note, this requires dev-python/oauth2 which has no stable ebuilds.
+1 this ebuild is mostly useless, it would be nice to have an updated version.
You say that python-twitter-0.6, presented in tree, cannot be used anymore and must be removed?

IMO, it is at least nearly useless. 0.6 does not support the OAuth authentication that the twitter API now requires. I think it is possible to bolt OAuth onto 0.6, but 0.8.1 integrated OAuth out of the box making it tremendously more useful. Hope this helps.

Done bumping. 30 Apr 2011; Maxim Koltsov (maksbotan) <maksbotan@gentoo.org> -python-twitter-0.6.ebuild, +python-twitter-0.8.1.ebuild: dev-python/python-twitter version bump, #356815 Removed dev-python/python-twitter as it's unusable now, commented out testsuite in ebuild as not passable, drop ppc keyword 'cause mandatory dependency oauth2 doesn't have it.
