Is there a python twitter search library that handle results the right way?

Question

All the libraries I've tested search in twitter, let you specify the rpp (results per page) parameter but only gives you ONE page results.

It'd be cool a Python lib that provide a generator and each time gen.next() is called, a new search result is yielded. If the page is over, jump to the next page alone.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but I think the limit on what you can get is not a library limitation, but an API limitation (imposed by Twitter). You can read the methods available in their REST API here. Excerpt:

rpp
The number of tweets to return per page, up to a max of 100.
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?rpp=100
page
The page number (starting at 1) to return, up to a max of roughly 1500 results
(based on rpp * page).
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?page=10

This is what I was talking about: http://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython/commit/e9aaaa7c39dad0306fec9e83cb377975f5c2d4d5
