mytwitter is a simple python twitter application. I wrote it for two reasons: 1. No existing twitter app supports the Lists API 2. An excuse to learn Python While I doubt it will be terribly useful for anyone other than me, feel free to take it for a spin and let me know how it goes. INSTALLATION ------------ You'll need the following python modules: * pyGTK * dateutil * twitter (the dev version, not 0.6), along with my patches (included here) For the twitter module, you can download and install it with: hg clone https://python-twitter.googlecode.com/hg/ python-twitter cd python-twitter hg update dev for i in ../mytwitter/python-twitter-*.patch; do patch p1 < $i; done python setup.py build python setup.py install --user This will install python-twitter in your ~/.local/lib directory, which python 2.6 will automatically include in PYTHONPATH. CONFIGURATION ------------- Copy the supplied mytwitter.conf file to ~/.mytwitter.conf, and edit it to suit your preferences. At a minimum, you need to change the [account] section to contain a valid twitter username and password. You can have multiple [account] sections. USAGE ----- Just run ./mytwitter.py, and start playing around. Right now, it is best to run this file in-place; it expects twitterwidgets.py and default.glade to be in the same directory.
