Twython get Tweet using the ID

Using Twython, how do I get a single tweet using just the tweet ID_STR?

I know I can call it like this (TwitterDocuentation)

"https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.json?id=112652479837110273"

but I keep running into return code 400 errors when attempting to call it in twython with the request() method. I was trying to do something similar to calling the showStatus endpoint

 tweet = twitter.request(endpoint='showStatus')

but that doesn't seem to let me plugin the ID_STR param (or I'm just plainly doing it wrong)

 tweet = twitter.request(endpoint='showStatus',
              params={id:'112652479837110273'})

How can I do this with just the tweet ID and Twython?

If you are still trying to do this here in 2014, the code now is:

twitter.statuses.show(id="126415614616154112")

If that doesn't work, check on: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/show/%3Aid Twitter keeps updating their API.

Twython doesn't have showStatus method , it should be (show_status)

status = twitter.show_status(id="112652479837110273")

Ref: https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython/blob/master/tests/test_core.py line 147

This is how to do it:

status = twitter.showStatus(id="112652479837110273")
print status['text']

with the result:

@twitter meets @seepicturely at #tcdisrupt cc.@boscomonkey @episod http://t.co/6J2EgYM
