twython v2.8.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2013-04-29 // almost 11 years ago
    • ➕ Added a HISTORY.rst to start tracking history of changes
    • ⚡️ Updated twitter_endpoints.py to endpoints.py for cleanliness
    • ✂ Removed twython3k directory, no longer needed
    • ➕ Added compat.py for compatability with Python 2.6 and greater
    • Added some ascii art, moved description of Twython and __author__ to __init__.py
    • ➕ Added version.py to store the current Twython version, instead of repeating it twice -- it also had to go into it's own file because of dependencies of requests and requests-oauthlib, install would fail because those libraries weren't installed yet (on fresh install of Twython)
    • ✂ Removed find_packages() from setup.py, only one package (we can just define it)
    • ➕ added quick publish method for Ryan and I: python setup.py publish is faster to type and easier to remember than python setup.py sdist upload
    • Removed base_url from endpoints.py because we're just repeating it in Twython.__init__
    • Twython.get_authentication_tokens() now takes callback_url argument rather than passing the callback_url through Twython.__init__, callback_url is only used in the get_authentication_tokens method and nowhere else (kept in init though for backwards compatability)
    • ⚡️ Updated README to better reflect current Twython codebase
    • ➕ Added warnings.simplefilter('default') line in twython.py for Python 2.7 and greater to display Deprecation Warnings in console
    • Added Deprecation Warnings for usage of twitter_token, twitter_secret and callback_url in Twython.__init__
    • Headers now always include the User-Agent as Twython vXX unless User-Agent is overwritten
    • ✂ Removed senseless TwythonError thrown if method is not GET or POST, who cares -- if the user passes something other than GET or POST just let Twitter return the error that they messed up
    • ✂ Removed conversion to unicode of (int, bool) params passed to a requests. requests isn't greedy about variables that can't be converted to unicode anymore
    • ✂ Removed bulkUserLookup (please use lookupUser instead), removed getProfileImageUrl (will be completely removed from Twitter API on May 7th, 2013)
    • ⚡️ Updated shortenUrl to actually work for those using it, but it is being deprecated since requests makes it easy for developers to implement their own url shortening in their app (see https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython/issues/184)
    • 👀 Twython Deprecation Warnings will now be seen in shell when using Python 2.7 and greater
    • 0️⃣ Twython now takes ssl_verify parameter, defaults True. Set False if you're having development server issues
    • Removed internal _media_update function, we could have always just used self.post
