What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Utilise python-twitter from a non tty terminal (e.g. from Asterisk in
this case)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1477, in __init__
    self._InitializeRootDirectory(root_directory)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1537, in
_InitializeRootDirectory
    root_directory = self._GetTmpCachePath()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1531, in
_GetTmpCachePath
    username = self._GetUsername()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twitter.py", line 1525, in
_GetUsername
    os.getlogin() or \
OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

This also is a problem with the os.getlogin() call from _GetUsername. This fails
(throws an OSError) if there is no TTY attached.

VERSION:
The 0.5 download from the frontpage.

EXCEPTION:
twitter.py:1451 __init__
twitter.py:1508 _InitializeRootDirectory
twitter.py:1502 _GetTmpCachePath
twitter.py:1498 _GetUsername
<type 'exceptions.OSError'>: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Confirming this issue. I get the same error when trying to use it in Google App
Engine environment. Here is the code:

{{{
import wsgiref.handlers
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
import simplejson
import twitter

class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):

  def get(self):
    pass
    api = twitter.Api()
    statuses = api.GetPublicTimeline()


def main():
  application = webapp.WSGIApplication([('/', MainHandler)], debug=True)
  wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(application)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main()
}}}

This throws the following error:

{{{

The noTTY.patch is now applied in trunk.  Really sorry for the delay -- I 
didn't see
this issue open.  Thanks so much for the reports and the fix!

I've just downloaded the most recent version, but seem to have the same problem 
when I 
use it with google appengine? is the noTTY.patch something I have to apply 
manually?

Is there any known work-around for this on AppEngine or is it fixed in a recent 
beta version?

Disregard last, passing cache=None to Api() seems to have gotten around this. 
Thanks!
