I’m on a very brief break and hacked on my Twitter notifier for a couple of minutes. To tell you the truth, a couple of bugs have been ironed out a week after I posted the first version. It has been working so well, I didn’t bother playing around with the code.

Twittipy now prompts for your username and password. If you want it to save to the config file, just uncomment some of the lines. I’m not comfortable with the password saved in a file and I haven’t thought of a way to encrypt them. By the way, Pidgin saves passwords in plain text too. The login prompt is old code from a wxPython experiment some time ago (and it ain’t pretty).

After you get authenticated, an icon will appear in your system tray. To exit Twittipy, right-click on the icon.
