Patch: Support for Identica/Laconica and other Twitter-compliant APIs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've written a patch that allows twitter.py to be used with other
Twitter-compliant sites.  I've tested it as working on Identi.ca (well,
most parts of it; the Laconica API does not as of yet support every
function that the Twitter API does).

The implementation is pretty simple: a new argument to the Api constructor,
siteurl, that allows a different site to be specified.  For Identi.ca, the
URL would be http://identi.ca/api  Note that it defaults to
http://twitter.com so as to not break backwards compatibility with older
scripts.

I'm not sure if I messed something up when submitting this or what, but it 
should
probably be an enhancement.

Okay, here's an updated patch against the latest version in trunk.  Can we 
please
commit this soon so I don't have to keep updating the patch?  Thanks.

patch has a syntax error on line 111:

+      url = '%s/statuses/friends.json' $ self._siteurls

should be:

+      url = '%s/statuses/friends.json' % self._siteurl

How can I apply this patch on 0.5? I would like to use it for identi.ca

I have reworked the patch against the latest revision from trunk (r177). All
testcases work fine. Could you pleasy apply it for 0.7?

I would very much like to see this put into place. Program I am working on that 
use 
python-twitter (you guys are doing amazing work) would really benefit from 
being able 
to integrate with identi.ca (and other laconi.ca sites) with the same module, 
rather 
than going to look for another one.

thanks

I have forked python-twitter as it is going in a direction that is different 
from my needs.  You might find it useful 
as I have already intergraded alt base urls : 
http://bitbucket.org/jrossi/tweethon/ 

Still would like to that the developers of python-twitter it is a great lib and 
still take all my ideas from it ;)

Identi.ca support is already in trunk thanks to 
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=114
you just need to call twitter.Api(..., base_url='http://identi.ca/api')
