Twitter plugin doesn't work with OAuth

[LogicalDash]

Twitter implemented a new authentication scheme called OAuth recently. The old one no longer works.

Until the Twitter plugin works with OAuth, it won't be able to send anything to Twitter.

I hope this helps:

Kupfer uses python-twitter module for this. For OAuth we must use still-developed version of this module and also python-oauth2 module.
I hope new version will be released soon. For now - we must wait.

Karol, should we disable the twitter plugin in the next release then?

[Karol Będkowski (karol-bedkowski)]

Yes.
Gwibber plugin also support twitter and is more universal. So I thinking about remove twitter plugin completely.

[X (u78qir8a9-deactivatedaccount)]

I think that sounds good, I'll look at your plugin. Kupfer should integrate other applications, not implement a twitter client itself. :-)

[X (u78qir8a9-deactivatedaccount)]

The twitter plugin is now disabled in Kupfer's development version, we'll remove in the next release if nothing unexpected happens.

Other possibilities for twitter integration are pending (Gwibber, Pidgin integration).
