    print "CONVERT", input_file, " => ", output_gif

def dlfile(url):
    # Open the url
    try:
        f = urlopen(url)
        print "downloading " + url

        # Open our local file for writing
        output_file = os.path.basename(url)
        with open(output_file, "wb") as local_file:
            local_file.write(f.read())

        return output_file

    #handle errors
    except HTTPError, e:
        print "HTTP Error:", e.code, url
    except URLError, e:
        print "URL Error:", e.reason, url

    try:
        url = sys.argv[1]
        output = sys.argv[2]
    except IndexError:
        sys.exit(1)

    print "Creating [%s] from [%s]" % (url, output)

    d = pq(url=url)
    video_url = d("video#post source").attr("src")
    video_url = video_url.partition("?")[0]

    filename = dlfile(video_url)
    convert(filename, output)

Line 42 doesn't work anymore, it should be this instead:

video_url = d("meta[property=twitter\\:player\\:stream]").attr['content']
