Subject: Support setting the starting cursor position...
X-Git-Url: https://vcs.fsf.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7a0a6fa40c04a60f333541d094aeced5d7dc63f4;p=tweepy.git

Support setting the starting cursor position...

Ex: Cursor(api.friends_ids, cursor=123456)

The cursor will start iterating at position 12456 rather
than the first "page" (position -1).

Based on original work by Ruxandra Burtica in Pull request #194.
