You've installed the wrong twitter library. I'm guessing you've done

pip install twitter

you should uninstall that library:

pip uninstall twitter

and install the correct(*) one 

pip install python_twitter

(*) by correct I mean the one you're reading the documentation to :-)

Where did you install the python twitter module from? I used http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/source/browse/twitter.py, and it has an Api class.

>>> import twitter
>>> api = twitter.Api()

The error message "'module' object has no attribute 'Api'" means what it says: Python can't find anything named 'Api' inside the imported module 'twitter'.

Try dir(twitter) after the import statement. dir() will show what Python finds inside the object. If dir(twitter) shows an object called 'twitter', you may have to do something like from twitter import twitter.

can you reinstall using,

sudo pip install twitter

or

sudo easy_install twitter

The old versions did not required OAuth but new one does. The documentation of the latest version requires these to initiate the API

>>> api = twitter.Api(consumer_key='consumer_key',

    consumer_secret='consumer_secret', access_token_key='access_token', access_token_secret='access_token_secret')
