Micro-tweet – The Twitter Client that Fits in a Tweet (Python)

From the article:

"And yes, I’m aware that using a pre-existing library to interface with the Twitter API might be considered “cheating”, but it would be downright impossible to fit the script into the size constraints without it. The API endpoint URLs alone would probably be long enough to push the script over the limit."

Edit: Before this turns into a gauntlet[1], I'm simply quoting the article so that people don't think the author is oblivious to this fact.

And that is exactly why this doesn't make sense at all... it's just not possible to code it with these few lines.

Just because he's aware of it doesn't mean it's any less silly. Want to see me write a fully functional optimizing c compiler in a tweet? "/usr/bin/gcc" :/

I don't understand this rationale: Posts are limited to 140 characters on a certain website ∴ Everything should fit in 140 chars
