I set input_encoding to utf-8. While reading twitts, this error appears:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/screentwitt.py", line 49, in <module>
    app.GetTwitts();
  File "bin/screentwitt.py", line 16, in GetTwitts
    statues = self.__api.GetFriendsTimeline(since_id=last_id)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1371, in
GetFriendsTimeline
    json = self._FetchUrl(url, parameters=parameters)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twitter.py", line 2009, in _FetchUrl
    url = self._BuildUrl(url, extra_params=extra_params)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1883, in _BuildUrl
    extra_query = self._EncodeParameters(extra_params)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1949, in
_EncodeParameters
    return urllib.urlencode(dict([(k, self._Encode(v)) for k, v in
parameters.items() if v is not None]))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1930, in _Encode
    return unicode(s, self._input_encoding).encode('utf-8')
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found

This is not everytime... only the second time I use
GetFriendsTimeline(status_id)...

Same with 60 second sleep, 50 seconds... etc... only to say that's not a session
problem :)

mmmm maybe I found what's append.
I changed:
 last_id=s.id
by
 last_id=str(s.id)

I suppose that GetFriendsTimeline() takes status_id as string and not as int. 
Script
is running for 40 minutes, no crash !

Are you ok with this ?

In hindsight, I should probably have made user.id a string. In the dev branch 
(which 
defines those with protocol buffers) it's actually a uint64.

But yes, casting that to a str in your code should be fine.

It's not really user.id but status.id, in fact I get status from the last I get 
in
first iteration.

It's ok, I did modifications and it works fine. Thanks.

You can close this bug report I think :)
