Trends support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there,

I've wired up retrieval of current trends in the Api class. It returns a
list of trend name strings.

Here is the function:

  def GetTrendsCurrent(self):
    ''' Return current twitter trends.

    Args:
    Returns:
      A list of twitter trend strings.
    '''
    # Build request parameters
    parameters = {}

    # Make and send requests
    url = 'http://search.twitter.com/trends/current.json'

    json = self._FetchUrl(url,  parameters=parameters)
    data = simplejson.loads(json)
    self._CheckForTwitterError(data)

    trends = []

    for date in data['trends'].items():
        if (len(date) > 1):
            for item in date[1]:
                trends.append(item['name'])

    # Return list of trends
    return trends
