title: Tweepy Truncated Status
body: <p>I was mining user timeline data with tweepy and, have faced some difficulties in understanding the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is the 'retweeted' and 'truncated' attribute referring to the same thing (i.e., status text beyond 140 characters)? </li>
  <li>If not, what is the difference?</li>
  <li>I came across a stackoverflow question where someone asked how to retrieve status text which has been 'chopped' due the the length being over 140 characters. It suggested that there is a retweeted attribute in the _json dictionary which will be true if that is the case and the full status text will under status->retweeted_status->text. However, I have not been able to find it and, the only status text was under status->text ending with '...'. Did I get this wrong and if so, how do I get the full text?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help in advance. </p>
