My phone is a Nexus One Froyo but these scripts will run on most phones (time of writing this: 14 July 2010).
ASE is a way of running python scripts on an Android phone. Its very easy to set it up (http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/ – just download the python apk – it installs like an ordinary App) and the libraries have twitter and json already there. You can edit on the phone itself.
