The Twitter API has been fairly stable over recent months. Although, it
being closed and unversioned means that I have no way of knowing the
chances of it changing significantly in the future. I have a feeling it
will change during Lenny's released lifetime, though.
I wonder if the python-twitter package has a similar problem to
python-twyt? What is its strategy for staying compatible during Lenny's
lifetime? (CCing the maintainer.)
