Password Change with the Twitter API

Is there a way to change your twitter password via the python-twitter API or the twitter API in general? I have looked around but can't seem to find this information...

Fortunately not! Passwords are very confidential information which only Twitter itself wants to handle.

Think about a third-party developer suggesting to change your Twitter password:

• would you trust them and let them see your new password?
• how could you make sure they are really going to set your new password and not another one?
