everyeno

everyeno is a bot designed to run on a schedule and tweet/ tumbl details of master releases for brian eno in chronological order.
you can see results here:

• http://twitter.com/everyeno
• http://everyeno.tumblr.com

i thought this would be a fun way to learn to use the discogs API and visualize how much interesting work brian eno has been involved with over the years as an artist and producer.
Operation:

• on 1st run, it downloads info for every master release brian eno is credited on via the discogs api and creates a local file called releases.csv (note: after first run manually check and sort the data in the csv to your liking before running again.)
• on subsequent runs it steps through each release and tweets/ tumbls each one, keeping track via a second local file tweeted.txt

APIs/ Wrappers:

• Discogs https://github.com/discogs/discogs_client
• Twitter (tweepy) https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy
• Tumblr (pytumblr) https://github.com/tumblr/pytumblr

Scheduling via Cron:
