TwCuP

January 28th, 2009

Welcome to the homepage for TwCuP, a curses-based Twitter application. It is written in Python and uses twyt for access to the Twitter API. The TwCuP comes from the components: Tw(yt|itter), Cu(rses), P(ython) and is pronounced "Twi-Cup" (Say hiccup with a tw in front of it, or start to say Twitter and then instead of 'tter' say 'cup').

I currently consider TwCuP to be in an alpha state, so it is only available via SVN, once I finish implementing the available API calls and iron out a few wrinkles (window resizing in curses for example), it will be moving to a beta state, and hopefully with the help of some testers, we'll have the first official release before April.

Those of you interested in the alpha can download it from WebSVN.

Known Issues:

  • Resizing your window can cause the application to crash.
  • The full spectrum of API calls isn't yet implemented.
  • Certain characters (high-end of the ascii range) will not be displayed.

If you are interested in helping out with development or testing it and providing feed back, please let me know (tyler (at) <this domain>).
