Python & Twitter

I'm working on developing a Python Twitter application, but I've hit a snag. The Twitter API requires an a secret key for your application, but I don't know how (or if) I can keep this key secret.

Ideas?

If you wish to go that way, but looking at other clients, it seems people aren't all that shy about keeping the actual API keys secret, since some clients do have them in plaintext or encoded using some silly encryption (which is unimportant, since it's locally run code).
