Using the Twitter API with Python (via Twython).

This started as me playing with using Twitter from the CLI of a Raspberry Pi, and expanded from there into whether I could use Python and the API to do some semi-automated management of lists. The plan was to do more, and I may well do one day, but for now I haven't had the time.

I've now decided to tidy up my code and make it public, since others may find it useful.

A great Python to Twitter API module has been created in the form of Twython, so rather than spend ages trying to make my own interface I have simply used that.

You can install Twython using pip install twython.

There may be other Python modules I'm using which aren't part of the standard install, I'll track them down and add them here as I go.

I use a seperate file for my API details which, for obvious reasons, I exclude from my public repository. It therefore needs to be created and populated with your own API credentials.

The file is called TwitterAPIDetails.py and contains the following:

# Twitter API and Access keys
apiKey = ''
apiSecret = ''
accessToken = ''
accessTokenSecret = ''
