There are actually three fidgety things going on: 1. The API is 1-based instead of 0-based. 2. You don't know the number of pages in advance. 3. You want to process tweets, not pages of tweets. Here's yet another take on the problem: # wrap fidgety 1-based api def search(i): return api.GetSearch("foo", i+1) paged_tweets = (search(i) for i in count()) # handle sentinel paged_tweets = iter(paged_tweets.next, []) # flatten pages tweets = chain.from_iterable(paged_tweets) for tweet in tweets: process(tweet) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
