ShipItSquirrel - A Twitter bot that watches for keywords and replies "Ship It!"

This project is a simple example of how to connect to a single Twitter account that one owns, for the purposes of updating, following, or whatever. In this silly example, our Twitter bot watches the tweets of friends for keywords and replies with "Ship It!" whenever there is a keyword match.

The ShipItSquirrel pays homage to: (http://shipitsquirrel.github.com) which is forever immortalized as the mascot of the web app deployment, namely that there is never a perfect version 1.0, only continuous development and deployment. So, like ShipItSquirrel says, just "Ship It!".

================================================================================ NOTE: YOU MUST GET YOUR OWN TWITTER OAUTH TOKENS FROM TWITTER AND PLACE THEM IN THE CREDS.PY FILE FOR AUTHENTICATION TO WORK; CREDS.PY CONTAINS DUMMY DATA UNTIL YOU DO SO.

Features:

• Written in Python and utilizing Tweepy library.
• Authenticates with OAuth, thus requiring valid access tokens for an account
• Demonstrates basic Tweepy usage and simple OAuth authentication
