I used the directions in this blog for Django-OAuth-Twitter: http://agileweb.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/step-by-step-guide-...

It took several hours to get us to authenticate. The next several hours we couldn't get it to serve requests, even ones that required no authentication. We kept coding hoping that the problem would magically go away, but that never really happens.

It's conceivable that both of us were both doing something stupid, but it's also equally likely that the implementation was not simple.

My collaborator, @ricree, has some refinements to these instructions on the blog post above, following on what he did to get the authentication working. I am asking him to write those up. But we could not, I stress, make nearly all subsequent API requests, even ones that didn't require authentication.
