What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Authorize in api:
api = twitter.Api(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token,

2. Get public timeline:

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected statuses, instead i got errror:

Problem is in old api version. Python-twitter uses api 1.0 but now in current 
api 1.1 some functions are deprecated and returns u"error" instead of expected 
values.
