This error is occurring because python-twitter relies on Basic-Auth which 
Twitter switched off sometime between August and September (2010). Only OAuth 
is supported by the API, and python-twitter doesn't support this.

You may want to use Mike Verdone's library instead:

python-twitter DOES support OAuth, like I mentioned in Issue 177 - if you are 
going to refer to other libs please be accurate
