I am looking for an Python library which is compatible with app engine and provides an interface to the Twitter API.

What Python package is best for getting data from Twitter?

Tweepy is an excellently supported tool for accessing the Twitter API. It supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.

Is Twitter API legal?

The use of the Twitter API and developer products to create spam, or engage in any form of platform manipulation, is prohibited. You should review the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam, and ensure that your service does not, and does not enable people to, violate our policies.

I just switched from python-twitter to tweepy. It has better coverage, builtin OAuth and the Streaming API.

Take a look at this fork to work with App Engine.

Later edit (thanks jmlane): The main distribution was fixed to work with App Engine so get it from here.

Yes, you can use python-twitter on app engine (support was added when python-twitter issue 64 was resolved).
