NewFromJsonDict AttributeError

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call GetUserTimeLine

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I have a 'twitter panel' on a site that uses python-twitter to get tweets. Most 
of the time it works fine but it's crashing every so often with the error shown 
below.


  File "/------/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twitter.py", line 2682, in GetUserTimeline
    return [Status.NewFromJsonDict(x) for x in data]

  File "/------/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twitter.py", line 620, in NewFromJsonDict
    return Status(created_at=data.get('created_at', None),

AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I cant reproduce this error by calling GetUserTimeline in a python shell. Seems 
like it only happens every so often (maybe depending on what the twitter api 
returns?)
