A website that finds the most common words on a reddit comment thread.
A tool by Nathan Hakkakzadeh or drkabob.
This repo consists of two python scripts. The bot.py file is a script that takes one argument and will output the
top 5 words.
The reddit_mcw.py file is a bottle web application. An example implementation can be found
on my website here. The web app needs to be run with a web server that supports threading
as finding the most common words takes a long time due to the limit placed on reddit API calls. I personally use CherryPy,
but you can change the server used by editing the reddit_mcw.py file manually.
Also the commonwords.txt file is used by both bot.py and reddit_mcw.py to ignore common words that would make the results
a lot less interesting. It is required that this file be in the directory where either bot.py or reddit_mcw.py is run.
Both bot.py and reddit_mcw.py are designed to work with Python 3.x. They will work with Python 2.x, but you will encounter
Unicode errors.
For both bot.py and reddit_mcw.py, you will need...
- A Python interpreter, preferably Python 3.x
- The latest version of praw
And for reddit_mcw.py, you will need...
