Is there an easy way to update my Facebook status ("What's on your mind?" box) using Python code ?

The Facebook Developers site for Python is a great place to start. You should be able to accomplish this with a REST call.

Check out PyFacebook which has a tutorial, from... Facebook!

Blatantly ripped from the documentation on that page and untested, you'd probably do something like this:

import facebook
fb = facebook.Facebook('YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY')
fb.auth.createToken()
fb.login()
fb.auth.getSession()
fb.set_status('Checking out StackOverFlow.com')

Well, in my case fb object doesn't have set_status method. Why is that? Can you please throw some light on this?

If your Facebook object doesn’t have a `set_status` method, open another question asking about it.
