has anybody the same problem or a solution for that?

Have i to install any phyton-packages first?

Sorry if the question is stupid, but i am a real newbi...
I discovered earlier that I was missing a dependacy in package for python-hildon
if you install any other python package it will install this, and hence most people haven't noticed the missing dependancy. at least I'm working on that assumption at the moment.
open a terminal and run 'witter' from there
if it complains about the hildon import then try installing something like gpodder, to see if that helps.

I will fix the missing dependancy but it might be a while before it makes it into an available version

Check out Witter, a twitter client for N900
http://danielwould.wordpress.com/witter

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
