Notes on parse_twitter_xml.py by Lee Becker ============================================ I have attached the latest version of my python code. It has some other stuff for parsing the twitter XML, but I believe Mark has a better package for that. The main piece of value is the parseCrisisSyntax function, which takes a string representing the tweet, and parses the tweakTweet syntax and returns a python dict (hash table) of key, value pairs between hashtag and its arguments. I may try to clean this up to better normalize some tags, but for now I need to run.
