Using Python with the Twitter API to post tweets? [closed]

Question

Anyone have any reccomendations as to what python library to use to post tweets to twitter?

The ones I've found are

• twython
• PythonTwitter
• TwitterAPI
• Python Twitter Tools
• Tweepy
• TweetPony
• twitter-gobject

Anyone else know of any good/better ones or can anyone give me a simple example to post to twitter?

Thanks in advance - Hyflex

Twython is pretty nice and is constantly updated. After the setup steps, using it is as easy as:

from twython import Twython
twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
twitter.update_status(status='See how easy using Twython is!')
