ctweet

Ctweet is a project mainly written in Python, based on the MIT license.

Your twitter stream on the command line.

Requirements

  • Python 2.6+
  • A Twitter account
  • An internet connection (duh)

Usage

Well, there's not much to it. Just run

./ctweet.py <screen_name>

You'll get prompted for your password (don't worry, it will not get sent to my personal stolen passwords server, I promise), and off you go.

Caching is done locally via Berkeley DB (in a file calling /tmp/twitter.db), so it's doubtful you'll hit the Twitter API rate limit.

Contributing

Send me a pull request on Github, and I'll add your patch if it adds features or fixes something that's broken.

Wish List

  • Tweet while watching the stream.
  • Save password after first use.
