tweet.py

#! /usr/bin/env python3
from twitter import *
import os, sys

CONSUMER_KEY = <your_consumer_key>
CONSUMER_SECRET <your_consumer_secret_key>

MY_TWITTER_CREDS = os.path.expanduser('~/.token_cache')
if not os.path.exists(MY_TWITTER_CREDS):
	try:
		oauth_dance(<your_app_name>, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, MY_TWITTER_CREDS)
	except Exception as e:
		print("IMPOSSIBILE AUTENTICARE.")
		print(e)
		sys.exit(2)

oauth_token, oauth_secret = read_token_file(MY_TWITTER_CREDS)

twitter = Twitter(auth=OAuth(oauth_token, oauth_secret, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET))

if __name__ == "__main__":
	if len(sys.argv) < 2:
		print(twitter.statuses.home_timeline())
	else:
		twitter.statuses.update(status=sys.argv[1])
