I have the same issue with MacOsX 10.5.8.

Just following the example:

import twitter
api = twitter.Api()

Produces the same error:
File "twitter.py", line 1, in <module>
    import twitter
  File "/Users/tequilamambo/Desktop/twitter.py", line 3, in <module>
    api = twitter.Api()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Api'

Your seeing a package namespace issue between two Python Twitter API modules.  
Ours uses twitter.py as well as the Twyt package (see 
http://andrewprice.me.uk/projects/twyt/ )

Not much we can do about this really IMO
