timeline

Takes tweets from a bot's followings and markovifies them.

setup

  1. Clone the fucking git repo
  2. Install the libraries listed in requirements.txt via pip
  3. Rename config.sample.py to config.py and edit it to fit your needs
  4. Create data/simulator.db (SQLite3) by using data/schema.sql

running the bot

The bot is not a single piece of software but instead a collection of scripts working together and sometimes depending on each other.
Automate running them by using cron or your favorite scheduler.

  • fetch.py adds new tweets to the database
  • fetchstream.py is like fetch.py, but always active and using the Twitter Streaming-API (recommended)
  • follow.py is a follow4follow whore (but broken!)
  • generate.py does the actual thing

Have fun.
