NAME
twnotifier - Python tools for aggregating your friend's Twitterings
SYNOPSIS
$>python ~/bin/twitter/twnotifier/twgrowler.py
DESCRIPTION
Python tools for aggregating your friend's Twitterings.
THE CODE
twnotifier.py
A Python script and base class for querying the Twitter API and
delegating messages. It can be run on its own from the command-line but
isn't really meant to be.
It is written in pure-Python but will try to use the ElementTree XML
libraries if they are present.
twgrowler.py
Usage:
$>python ~/bin/twitter/twnotifier/twgrowler.py
A command-line tool for sending Twitter messages through the Growl (OS
X) notification system.
It has the following dependencies :
* Growl
<http://www.growl.info>
* Growl Python bindings
<http://growl.info/downloads_developers.php>
The application will continue running until it is quit by a user,
polling the Twitter API every 5 minutes.
twsnarler.py
Usage:
$>python C:\\My Documents\twnotifier\twsnarler.py
A command-line tool for sending Twitter messages through the Snarl
(Windows) notification system.
It has the following dependencies :
* Snarl
<http://www.fullphat.net/>
* PySnarl
<http://code.google.com/p/pysnarl/>
The application will continue running until it is quit by a user,
polling the Twitter API every 5 minutes.
s60_twnotifier.py
Usage:
Phone > My own > Python > Options > Run script > s60_twnotifier.py
A Series 60 Python application for displaying Twitter messages. Due to
the lack of a built in XML parser and modifications made to Python's
regular expression engine, it will currently only work on 2nd Edition
phones.
It has the following dependencies.
* PDIS XML Extensions
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdis-xpath/>
If the PDIS Miso extensions are present and the phone is capable the
application will make the phone virbate when new messages have been
received. The PDIS Miso extensions can be downloaded from :
<http://pdis.hiit.fi/pdis/download/miso/>
The application will continue running until it is quit by a user,
polling the Twitter API every 5 minutes.
The application does not yet support text scrolling which can be a
problem if you get many messages all at once.
