| # Twitter's Trends API has been in flux since Feburary 2011 when Mining the Social Web was published | |
| # and unfortunately, this is causing some confusion in the earliest examples. | |
| # See also https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/trends | |
| # Note that the twitter package that's being imported is from https://github.com/sixohsix/twitter | |
| # If you have first done an "easy_install pip" to get pip, you could easily install the latest | |
| # version directly from GitHub as follows: | |
| # $ pip install -e git+http://github.com/sixohsix/twitter.git#egg=github-pip-install | |
