twitter-text-python is a Tweet parser and formatter for Python.
It is based on twitter-text-java and passes all the unittests of twitter-text-conformance plus some additional ones.
Usage:
>>> import ttp
>>> p = ttp.Parser()
>>> result = p.parse("@BonsaiDen Hey that's a great Tweet parser! #twp")
>>> result.reply
'BonsaiDen'
>>> result.users
['BonsaiDen']
>>> result.tags
['twp']
>>> result.urls
[]
>>> result.html
u'<a href="http://twitter.com/BonsaiDen">@BonsaiDen</a> Hey that\'s a great Tweet Parser!
<a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23twp">#twp</a>'
If you need different HTML output just subclass and override the format_* methods.
