Does anyone have a Python method that extracts hashtags from text using the same rules that Twitter applies for their hashtag extraction? I've checked Stackoverflow but haven't found any updated code.

github.com/twitter/twitte is the reference with conformance tests, and github.com/edmondburnett/ seems to be the most up to date one - but i'd like to know too.

This is really interesting. If I make a new tweet and try to make a hashtag starting with a number, Twitter doesn't convert it to a hashtag. But if I do it in this tweet, Twitter does convert it.

I wonder if they have different rules based on if the tweet is a reply?
