There are actually three fidgety things going on:
1. The API is 1-based instead of 0-based.
2. You don't know the number of pages in advance.
3. You want to process tweets, not pages of tweets.
Here's yet another take on the problem:
# wrap fidgety 1-based api
def search(i):
return api.GetSearch("foo", i+1)
paged_tweets = (search(i) for i in count())
# handle sentinel
paged_tweets = iter(paged_tweets.next, [])
# flatten pages
tweets = chain.from_iterable(paged_tweets)
for tweet in tweets:
process(tweet)
