NLTK Twitter client

This module offers methods for collecting and processing Tweets. Most of the functionality depends on access to the Twitter APIs, and this is handled via the third party Twython library.

If one of the methods below returns an integer, it is probably a Twitter error code. For example, the response of '420' means that you have reached the limit of the requests you can currently make to the Twitter API. Currently, rate limits for the search API are divided into 15 minute windows.

Class	`Query`	Retrieve data from the Twitter REST API.
Class	`Streamer`	Retrieve data from the Twitter Streaming API.
Class	`TweetViewer`	Handle data by sending it to the terminal.
Class	`TweetWriter`	Handle data by writing it to a file.
Class	`Twitter`	Wrapper class with restricted functionality and fewer options.
