Well, the things that differ from python twitter is that this package
already provides support for Python 3 and is under active development. 
Another features are: 
- Query data for:
    - User information
    - Twitter lists
    - Timelines
    - Direct Messages
    - and anything found in `the docs <https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1>`_
- Image Uploading:
    - Update user status with an image
    - Change user avatar
    - Change user background image
    - Change user banner image

Yeah I wondered the same thing.  The fact that upstream is very active and 
the python3 support conviced me to package it.
