For our microblogging I have always used Turpial, a client for Identical y Twitter written in Python and specially developed for Canaima.
En Debian Testing is currently the version 1.6.7 of this light application, but its developers have already given us a preview of what we will see in Turpial 2.0.
As we can see in the screenshot, Turpial 2.0 has received a major facelift and we can now use our account Identical o Twitter simultaneously. The layout is now cleaner and the action buttons at the bottom have been changed.
On the wiki Turpial They leave us the following steps to install the development version, which is not recommended for production environments. The steps are the following:
1.- Install libturpial
For this we open a terminal (we have to have git-core installed) and we put:
$ git clone git://github.com/satanas/libturpial.git libturpial
This will create the folder libturpial. Then we access it:
$ cd libturpial
Finally we install libturpial in development mode by typing as root (or using sudo):
# python setup.py develop
In my case it did not work for me. I had to put the following:
# python setup.py build && python setup.py install
1.2- Update libturpial
When there are changes, we can update with the command:
$ git pull origin master
And reinstall the module with:
# python setup.py develop
2.- Turpial
Once we have installed libturpial we can install Turpial.
2.1- Installing Turpial
We open a terminal and put:
$ git clone git://github.com/satanas/Turpial.git turpial
Once finished we enter the created folder
$ cd turpial
To change to the development branch we put:
$ git branch --track development origin/development
$ git checkout development
Finally, we install Turpial in development mode putting as root (or using sudo):
# python setup.py develop
I could not test this part due to problems with my connection 🙁
2.2- Update Turpial
When there are changes available we can update with the command:
$ git pull origin master
And reinstall with:
# python setup.py develop
3.- Ok, we already installed Turpial. And now?
To execute Turpial we put in the terminal:
turpial -i gtk
If anyone can do it, let me know. This afternoon I try it 😀
Wow, I could finally quietly replace gwibber with turpial, of course until it becomes stable;). Thanks for the note.
Well, I did not know turpial and I take the opportunity to install it in Mint I never get along with gwibber.

A few minutes ago I just installed Turpial 1.6.7-1 on my Debian Squeeze and you don't know how happy you have given me to see what 2.0 will be 😀
Greetings 😉
I have been using Turpial for a long time. Not so much for being faithful to the country, but because I like xD (I tried Cunaguaro and Guácharo, mere copies of Firefox and Thunderbird ._.). I like how 2.0 looks, I'm looking forward to it.
it's good that the development of turpial continues very well
There is an ERROR in step 2.2 - Update Turpial
It is not git pull origin master but:
git pull origin development
By the way, they can also do:
turpial -i qt
To run with the QT libraries instead of GTK.
And if you want to try it on MacOSX, here is the executable:

WTF !!! Turpial but with Qt instead of GTK ... O_O ... damn what a temptation 😀
Thank you very much, hehe ... elav have you downloaded the 2.0 from Turpial? (an alpha or beta at least?), I want to try it hehe.
Thank you very much for the tip, I really do
I tried to install in Wheezy with KDE4 and it does not allow ... I have the previous version of Turpial ...
