Pardal
An acessible and customizable Twitter client
Using it (Proof of Concept yet)
This is a proof of concept. It means that this project is experimental and currently is testing what is possible to be done. Don't expect much. :) Feel free to contribute on coding or testing it.
Run pardal executable as administrator. You can configure your keyboard editing the file
keyboard.ini.
Errors should be logged on pardal.log (available on same folder as the executable file).
- Supported Systems
- Linux (Antergos)
- MacOS (HighSierra)
- Windows (Win 10)
Development
Requirements:
- Python 3.7
IMPORTANT: Pardal must be running using sudo/administrator mode.
Virtual environment (optional)
We recommend using a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
Environment variables (optional)
You must be able of testing it without any problems even if no consumer key or secret are filled in.
If you'd like to test it using real data copy .env.sample to .env and replace with the values of a Twitter APP.
export CONSUMER_KEY=xxxx
export CONSUMER_SECRET=eeee
export FAKE_TWITTER_API=False # default: True

TODO
- Config on .spec instead of Makefile: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23597180/1344295
- Check current bugs
- Check Sentry DSN being public
Troubleshooting
OSError: libespeak.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You must install python-espeak or espeak on our OS.
- ModuleNotFound error on MacOS?
Check your PYTHONPATH configuration. How to solve it here.
