Getting full_text from truncated tweets #491

Hi guys,

I realized that when using this library I get truncated tweets and I tried to find a solution. I found on the Internet that there is a parameter called "tweet_mode" that you are supposed to tunned as "extended". However, there is no such parameter in the GetSearch function.

I realized that there is a parameter called raw_query, and I also tried to write something like "q=whatever&tweet_mode=extended" but it didn't work.

I made a workaround and I want to share it because someone might find it useful. You just need to modify a couple of lines:

In the file models.py
In the function NewFromJsonDict from Status
Line 469 (below user_mentions=None)
add: full_text = None

Line 478 (below current_user_retweet = data['current_user_retweet']['id'])
add: if 'full_text' in data:
full_text = data['full_text']

Line (last):
add full_text in the parameters such that:
return super(cls, cls).NewFromJsonDict(data=data,
current_user_retweet=current_user_retweet,
hashtags=hashtags,
media=media,
retweeted_status=retweeted_status,
urls=urls,
user=user,
user_mentions=user_mentions,full_text=full_text)

This is just a workaround but it would be great if it's implemented in the library.

Regards,
JM.
