 Hi Team,
 I am looking for a sponsor for my package and maitain it with the DPMT.
 The package is python-twython Pure Python wrapper for the Twitter API.
 This closes #739010 which is an ITP.
 Here is some useful information about the package:
  Version : 3.1.2-1
  Upstream Author : Ryan McGrath r...@venodesigns.net
  URL : https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython/tree/master
  License : MIT


 It builds those binary packages:
 python-twython - Pure Python wrapper for the Twitter API
 python3-twython - Pure Python3 wrapper for the Twitter API

 If you are interested you can get it on mentors[0] or in the SVN DPMT[1].

Just curious, how does this differ from python-twitter, which is
already in the archive? Do we need two different sets of python
wrappers around Twitter's API?

Regards,
Vincent

Well, the things that differ from python twitter is that this package
already provides support for Python 3 and is under active development. 
Another features are: 
- Query data for:
- User information
- Twitter lists
- Timelines
- Direct Messages
- and anything found in `the docs https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1`_
- Image Uploading:
- Update user status with an image
- Change user avatar
- Change user background image
- Change user banner image

 Do we need two different sets of python
 wrappers around Twitter's API?

Yeah I wondered the same thing.  The fact that upstream is very active and 
the python3 support conviced me to package it.
