The TwistedTwitterStream package provides an event-driven API for receiving Twitter status updates through the asynchronous Twitter Streaming API.

The following methods are supported:

• firehose
• retweet
• sample
• filter

• A JSON parser is required. Like json or simplejson.
• All methods will automatically reconnect to the server with an exponential back-off. See t.i.p.ReconnectingClientFactory for details.
• All methods must be initialized with a consumer object, inherited from TwistedTwitterStream.TweetReceiver
• No proxy support.

Examples are available in the examples/ directory.
