My super amazing tweet fetching script.

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib import admin

class Tweet(models.Model):
    text = models.CharField(max_length=140)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField()
    tweet_id = models.BigIntegerField()
    visible = models.BooleanField(default=True)

    ITEMS_PER_PAGE = 10
    
    def __unicode__(self):
        return "%s - %s" % (self.created_at, self.text)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ["-created_at"]


class TweetAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('text', 'created_at', 'visible',)

admin.site.register(Tweet, TweetAdmin)
