> This question is for any python-twitter developer
while I don't use python-twitter, I do use Andrew Price's Twyt
for my python+twitter scripting (I started to type
"python+twitter scripting needs", but "needs" is SOOOOoooo not
the right word for anything regarding twitter).

I believe the API limits to 200 tweets. With twyt, I can just
ask for .status_user_timeline(count=200) and get the last 200
tweets. I can also specify .status_user_timeline(count=200,
since=tweet_id) to get those since a particular tweet. Your
twitter API may have similar tools to specify the count, the
starting ID, or the "page#" like twyt does.
