twython v3.1.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2013-09-25 // over 10 years ago
    • Added html_for_tweet static method. This method accepts a tweet object returned from a Twitter API call and will return a string with urls, mentions and hashtags in the tweet replaced with HTML.
    • Pass client_args to the streaming __init__, much like in core Twython (you can pass headers, timeout, hooks, proxies, etc.).
    • Streamer has new parameter handlers which accepts a list of strings related to functions that are apart of the Streaming class and start with "on_". i.e. ['delete'] is passed, when 'delete' is received from a stream response; on_delete will be called.
    • When an actual request error happens and a RequestException is raised, it is caught and a TwythonError is raised instead for convenience.
    • ➕ Added "cursor"-like functionality. Endpoints with the attribute iter_mode will be able to be passed to Twython.cursor and returned as a generator.
    • 🗄 Twython.search_gen has been deprecated. Please use twitter.cursor(twitter.search, q='your_query') instead, where twitter is your Twython instance.
    • Added methods get_list_memberships, get_twitter_configuration, get_supported_languages, get_privacy_policy, get_tos
    • Added auth_endpoint parameter to Twython.__init__ for cases when the right parameters weren't being shown during the authentication step.
    • 🛠 Fixed streaming issue where results wouldn't be returned for streams that weren't so active (See https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython/issues/202#issuecomment-19915708)
    • Streaming API now uses _transparent_params so when passed True or False or an array, etc. Twython formats it to meet Twitter parameter standards (i.e. ['ryanmcgrath', 'mikehelmick', 'twitterapi'] would convert to string 'ryanmcgrath,mikehelmick,twitterapi')
