Preferred Python twitter API? [closed]

Tags:

I found at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/libraries#python that there are several Twitter APIs for Python.

I've been using python-twitter for a while but never needed the API Search. Now I need to do a job that includes Twitter searches and I see they are not supported by this lib.

I wonder know which of the listed ones is the appropriated for this task.

Thanks,

Note: I used python-twitter 0.6 - svn trunk seems to include searches.

Twython has proven good for a current project of mine. It seems to be the most up-to-date with the Twitter API.

If you need streaming API support I would recommend Tweepy.

I have been using Python Twitter Tools and like it a lot. It still won't handle your search filtering for you, but you would have to do that anyways.
