===Python Twitter library functions we will use===
A library provides a collection of functions for you, and defines a contract for using those functions. Here are the functions in the python-twitter library that will be useful for the project:
<code>api.GetSearch(searchString)</code>
Given a string to search for, this function will return a list of tweets matching that search term.
<code>api.GetUserTimeline(username)</code>
Given a username, this function will return a list of tweets belonging to that username.
