title: Twython get Tweet using the ID
body: <p>Using <a href="https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython" rel="nofollow">Twython</a>, how  do I get a single tweet using just the tweet ID_STR?</p>
  
  <p>I know I can call it like this (<a href="https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/statuses/show/%3Aid" rel="nofollow">TwitterDocuentation</a>)</p>
  
  <pre><code>"https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.json?id=112652479837110273"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I keep running into return code 400 errors when attempting to call it in twython with the request() method. I was trying to do something similar to calling the showStatus endpoint</p>
  
  <pre><code> tweet = twitter.request(endpoint='showStatus')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but that doesn't seem to let me plugin the ID_STR param (or I'm just plainly doing it wrong)</p>
  
  <pre><code> tweet = twitter.request(endpoint='showStatus',
                params={id:'112652479837110273'})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I do this with just the tweet ID and <a href="https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/twython" rel="nofollow">Twython</a>?</p>
