What is Brittle Wit?

Brittle Wit is a Twitter Lib for Python.

• It is rigorously polite in its adherence to Twitter's rate limits.
• It scales well.
• It works as a library or a server.
• "Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!"

A Trivial Demo

This code is explained thoroughly in the documentation. It fetches jacks first tweet.

import brittle_wit as bw
from brittle_wit.executors import debug_blocking_request
from brittle_wit import rest_api


APP_CRED = bw.AppCredentials.load_from_env()
CLIENT_CRED = bw.ClientCredentials.load_from_env()
req = rest_api.statuses.lookup(id=20)
resp = debug_blocking_request(APP_CRED, CLIENT_CRED, req)
jacks_first_tweet = resp.json()

print(jacks_first_tweet)
