Tweetstorm

Command line tool that takes a text of arbitrary length as input and produces a stream of tweets from it.

Installation

Download this repository and run python setup.py install

Observations: Still gotta test on Windows and fresh python installations

Usage

1. Register a Twitter application. A good guide can be found here

2. Set the following environment variables with the values from your application:

   • TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
   • TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
   • TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
   • TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

3. Now, you can use it like this:

   • tweetstorm filename to tweet the contents of a file called filename. If it doesn't find filename then it will do it like this:
   • tweetstorm 'Can I haz cheezburger? Yes you can cutie patootie.' where it will tweet the value of the command line argument.
