Write a program to do it. Or do you have a specific question?

Since you provide no details (version/distro of Linux, what language you want to write it in, how you want to interface with it, etc.), there's nothing anyone can tell you. You mention python+web...python is a programming language that you COULD use, but there are many others too. And "web" is a very generic term.

If you bothered to Google "linux python facebook status", you'd get this as the VERY FIRST HIT:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...k-api-in-linux

which tells you how to install the python Facebook API, and has links to examples and tutorials.

I want some CUI ( preferably G.U.I. ) so that I can solve my purpose

as a MVC Architecture :
Model > [ please suggest ]
View > Mako Template
Controller > Python Prog. - py file

I want to know if I can do that via GTK then please any one suggest some kick start to get started

Also is this relevant : http://code.google.com/appengine/doc.../tools/webapp/ ?

developers.facebook.org has all your answers about interoperating with Facebook.

If you're planning to make write a website in Python to do it, which your second post seems to indicate, then use the django framework. The official django website has all your answers about that. Django, like most web frameworks, gives you the entire MVC architecture.

Putting the information together (building your own website and having it interoperate with Facebook) is something you'll have to do yourself.

What's a "CUI"?

If you want a graphical interface, I'd recommend that you learn PyQt4.

Did you even bother to look at any of the technologies you mentioned in post #3, and if you did, then why wasn't it obvious that they have nothing to do with GTK?

It's a Character User Interface (as opposed to GUI, which is a Graphical User Interface). So a CUI is a terminal application.

OK.

I've always heard of terminal applications called CLI (Command Line Interface).
