Get similar error. Password has no special characters - so i get a str eror 
rather than a unicode

I'm getting the same issue with no special characters in the password.

>>> api = twitter.Api(username='username',password='password')
>>> users = api.GetFriends()

The root cause for this turns out to be a Twitter change.  The JSON data 
returned for GetFriends used to only be a list, but now it appears other data 
elements are returned.

I've tweaked how the NewFromJsonDict() method for User works so that it now 
requests the 'users' item from the base JSON returned and then iterating over 
that.

got the same:

Yeah, I got the same with the latest download.  I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.  See below.

I believe the issue is that this endpoint has been renamed to sample.json AND 
is part of the streaming API.  If I change the endpoint in the code and pass in 
base_url to my constructor it moves along, but it is not configured (or cannot 
handle, I don't yet know) to handle streaming.

I would just use a different example and the author should probably just 
deprecate this call or add additional info on how to use it. 

    statuses = api.GetPublicTimeline()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_twitter-0.8.2-py2.7.egg/twitter.py", line 2301, in GetPublicTimeline
    return [Status.NewFromJsonDict(x) for x in data]
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_twitter-0.8.2-py2.7.egg/twitter.py", line 620, in NewFromJsonDict

GetPublicTimeline() is deprecated in version 1.1 of the Twitter API

your getting this error because that is how Twitter chose to respond to a 
now-deprecated call.

There is no longer any way, except using search, to get what used to be the 
Public Timeline

I am getting this when I run api.GetMentions()

I had code that worked perfectly until yesterday. Now 
tweeter.GetUserTimeline(settings.TWITTER_USER) is throwing this error.

I just tested the latest from github with a known good set of credentials and 

api.GetUserTimeline(foo) 

works for me - can you provide more info about what version this is and what 
version of Python
