In this snippet I will show how to use the Tweepy library to get statistics from Tweeter.
The script will read a sample feed from the Twitter Streaming API (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api) and perform the following actions:
* Reads the sample feed
* Notes the number of retweets seen
* Tracks the number of times posts have been retweeted, and
* Produces an hourly report of the 20 most frequently retweeted posts
