My advice, move from twitter to identi.ca (http://identi.ca). identi.ca accepts Basic Auth authentication and the code from Chapter 3 works well with minor amendments.
Here is my code:

import urllib.request

def send_to_identica():
   msg = "Posting to identi.ca from Python"
   passwd_manager = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr()
   passwd_manager.add_password("Identi.ca API", "http://identi.ca/api/statuses", "your_user_name", "your_password")
   auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(passwd_manager)
   page_opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
   urllib.request.install_opener(page_opener)
   parms = urllib.parse.urlencode({'status': msg})
   parms = parms.encode("utf8")
   resp = urllib.request.urlopen("http://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.xml", parms)
   resp.read().decode("utf8")

Informations about api can be encountered in http://status.net/do...usesupdate.html

I hope it can help!

Hi I read all the posts in
"http://jmillerinc.com/2010/05/31/twitter-f...on-using-oauth/" to find someone who had a difficulty like mine, but I hadn't found

In step 3 he posted this comment: "Save the following Python code as a script on your local system." and: "Then save and run on your system."

Where is this place? Where do I put the script? In Python32 folder? How do I run the script to appear the words that he showed:

You should see a prompt like this:

Please authorize: <url>
PIN:
</url>

Thank you in advance!
