title: api = twitter.Api() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Api
body: <p>I have been trying to write a simple mention grabber to get started with the twitter Api. Howsoever I've been experienceing some difficulties when initializing the Api.
  Running python2 on archlinux I installed twitter via easy_install, built it from source and installed it via pip. None of this seems to be working.</p>

  &gt;&gt;&gt; import twitter
  &gt;&gt;&gt; api = twitter.Api()
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Api'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Howsoever the pydoc for twitter is there. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I hope you can help</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> 
  I tried using <code>twitter.api()</code> instead of <code>twitter.Api()</code> and got the following error:
      Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "main.py", line 8, in 
      api = twitter.api()
      TypeError: 'module' object is not callable</p>
