You're right; Stani changed SPE's homepage several times, and I don't  
know if the "real" SPE homepage still exists anywhere.

I'd suggest to take the SVN version:
http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2007/02/how-to-download-latest-spe-from_26.html

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/python/

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/python/spe/trunk/_spe

The _spe directory is supposed to be in the Python path, e.g. site- 
packages/_spe
You can run "spe" from there (e.g. set an alias in your .profile).

Never used twdiff, but "edit" all the time :-)
