How to tweet from GAE

I want to be able to Tw开发者_开发知识库eet from my app running on GAE.

Please suggest some Python library or HTTP API for the purpose.

About python-twitter: I think you can use this lib it seems to be compatible with GAE: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/source/browse/twitter.py

Also:

Twitter has a very great REST API https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api, You can also to simply use urlfetch and simplejson from appengine.

For authentication Twitter uses OAuth and recommend to understand how it work:

Twitter supports a few authentication methods and with a range of OAuth authentication styles you may be wondering which method you should be using. When choosing which authentication method to use you should understand the way that method will affect your users experience and the way you write your application.

Twitter share a very great how to https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/oauth

You can also see the part of code: http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/source/browse/trunk/oauth_client.py from jaikuengine.

This project worked for me: https://github.com/tav/tweetapp/blob/master/standalone/twitter_oauth_handler.py It's only one file so it's easy to get it started and uses OAuth for authentication with twitter.

I have used twython in the past. I can't remember what made me select it over other libraries but I was using it on GAE and it is kept up-to-date.

You might find the Tweet Engine project of interest. It demonstrates quite simply how to use the Twitter REST API from App Engine.
