Super simple tweet fetcher using python.

francois.py

import json
import urllib2

username = 'ignorethecrane'
url = 'https://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/%s.json' % (username,)

u = urllib2.urlopen(url)

tweets = json.loads(u.read())

for item in tweets:
    # Use the anatomy of a tweet page to find what can be item['bunged_in_here']
    print '---'
    print item['text']
    print item['created_at']
