Using Tweepy with Apigee

I am using Tweepy, but I am trying to use it with the ap开发者_JAVA技巧i from apigee, but to do so would require me to change auth.py https://github.com/joshthecoder/tweepy/blob/master/tweepy/auth.py it looks like and remake the package some how. Is there anyways to use tweepy with another api? Or another way to set up Python to use OAuth but with an apigee api which is connected to Twitter.

Thanks,

Short version: need to sign requests as if they're going to Twitter but then to route them via Apigee (i.e. a proxy use-case).
