[Python-modules-team] Bug#669881: python-tweepy is out of date

[Eric Wong]

Package: python-tweepy
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The version of tweepy in sid is out of date. It is version 1.7 in sid,
but up to version 1.9 on github

    https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy/tags

It's true that there is no egg file for this or the previous 1.8 release,
so it needs to be built from source.

The newer versions of tweepy keep up with the twitter APIs specs and
add more comprehensive OAuth support.

Thanks!
Eric
