"""
Utilities for simple text analysis: word frequencies and co-occurrence graph.
These tools can be used to analyze a plain text file treating it as a list of
newline-separated sentences (e.g. a list of paper titles).
It computes word frequencies (after doing some naive normalization by
lowercasing and throwing away a few overly common words). It also computes,
from the most common words, a weighted graph of word co-occurrences and
displays it, as well as summarizing the graph structure by ranking its nodes in
descending order of eigenvector centrality.
This is meant as an illustration of text processing in Python, using matplotlib
for visualization and NetworkX for graph-theoretical manipulation. It should
not be considered production-strength code for serious text analysis.

This doesn't work any longer. Your twitter requests need to be authorized...

TwythonError: 'Bad Request: The request was invalid. An accompanying error message will explain why. This is the status code will be returned during rate limiting. -- An error occurred processing your request.'

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twython

The link above describes the form but getting authorization was beyond me. If I figure it out I will post a real solution but for now i just hope this saves someone the time I wasted.

I've updated the code so that now it's working, you just have to go to here and register an application to get a Consumer Key and a Consumer Secret.
