"recent update has some python dependency issues. I wonder how that was allowed into the extra repo. "
IT S NOT ALLOWED ... IT S THE REPO ITSELF THAT CREATE THE ISSUE !!! MAEMO PROMOTER IS FULL OF BUGS !
I really suggest you to use extras-testing or extras-devel

This application is not 'Stable Quality': It's currently broken, and won't install due to python dependency issues.
The author will need to remedy these issues immediately, and not just point fingers.
After evaluating a few Twitter clients for Maemo over some time, Khweeteur is probably the best of them. (when it works)
This is Unfortunate, as when it does work, it's buggy, very processor intensive and hence uses lots of power, and often clunky.
My hope is that Benoît will eventually work it into a stable, quick and capable client.
First of all, we need to be able to upgrade to 'stable' releases successfully, unlike version v0.0.52-1. Expecting users to depend on extras-testing or extras-devel versions is not a sustainable option.
