What is the best Python-Wrapper for Twitter 1.1 API?

Question

I recently read the book “21 Recipes for Mining Twitter,” and there they use python-twitter - Wrapper by sixohsix.

It seems to me that this library is a bit outdated since it still has a distinction between the search API and the REST API. This seems to be done for version 1 API, but for version 1

At the same time, connecting to the "regular" REST API needs the following:

twitter.Twitter(domain='search.twitter.com', api_version='1.1',\ auth=twitter.oauth.OAuth(access_token, access_token_secret,\ consumer_key, consumer_secret)) 

But I thought in 1.1, OAuth also needs a search! The Twitter documentation is pretty confusing or the sixohsix library is really out of date.

The final question: which Python library should I use for easy and, most importantly: sequentially install searches and other REST calls for API 1.1? I saw one that seems to be more stable.

But maybe I'm completely wrong. I would love to hear the advice of some experienced Python people who interact a lot with the Twitter 1.1 API. Thanks.

EDIT See on github six - the problem is fixed, and the search API v1.1 is now included in the wrapper

Answer 1

I used to use the sixohsix library. I also used tweepy and python-twitter (I found it on github). This is really a matter of preference. I created several virtual projects, some of which were Django or CherryPy, and just tried the API until I found one that was convenient for me. Tweepy seems pretty well documented, but Sixohsix seems to be updated more often.
