In my callback handler from twitter, I cannot seem to make a httplib POST request as it throws an unrelated 401 Token Invalid Expired error. I'm using Google App Engine and have tried the urlfetch function as well. 

headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "Accept": "text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(create_url)
conn.request("POST", "", form_data, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
if response.status == 500: 
    # do stuff

Matching error log: Twitter API returned a 401 (Unauthorized), Invalid / expired To ken

The solution was to use the Requests library for the POST request. For some unknown reason neither httplib or urlfetch work in the twittercallback endpoint on Google App Engine.
