Check out tweetstream for a nice high-level library to access twitter's streaming API.

python-twitter doesn't support twitter's real time API.

You will have to use Twisted, Tornado or Eventlet to consume such a real time API.

I know not, of any existing open source libraries in Python supporting this service right now.

You don't need any of those async libraries for Twitter streaming. You can use oauth2 module to authenticate and the built in urllib module to make the HTTP requests. – Spike Gronim Mar 15 '11 at 22:55
