Python-twitter doesn't seem to be on shape to be released, since the last commit is
from 06/13 and there isn't a single line regarding oauth.
Also the author from oauth-python-twitter (which can be integrated in some way with
p-twitter) last commit was in November (last year) and the project has a couple of
open bugs (with some patches waiting for approval).
So unless there's a marathonic session to close bugs and update both projects to
make this oauth thing work just fine, I agree on dropping it from the release.
Saludos,
Mauro
