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, but they must be uniquely named, and the section name must start with 'account'.

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.
