mytwitter is a simple python twitter application.  I wrote it for two reasons:

1. No existing twitter app supports the Lists API

2. An excuse to learn Python


While I doubt it will be terribly useful for anyone other than me, feel free to take it for a spin and let me know how it goes.  You'll need the following:

* PMW (Python mega-widgets)
* TKinter
* The latest dev version of python-twitter, along with my patch (included here)


For python-twitter, you can download and install it with:

hg clone https://python-twitter.googlecode.com/hg/ python-twitter
cd python-twitter
hg update dev
hg patch -u "Patrick Wiggins <jpwigan@gmail.com>" ../mytwitter/python-twitter-GetListStatuses.patch
python build.py build
python build.py install --user

This will install python-twitter in your ~/.local/lib directory, which python 2.6 will automatically include in PYTHONPATH.
