+This library provides a pure python interface for the Twitter API.
+
+Twitter (http://twitter.com) provides a service that allows people
+to connect via the web, IM, and SMS. Twitter exposes a web services 
+API (http://twitter.com/help/api) and this library is intended to 
+make it even easier for python programmers to use.
+
+This requires simplejson.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
