twitter_ebooks

twitter_ebooks is a COBE markov-chain tweetbot. It takes a training file of flat text and generates tweets each time twert.py is run.

DEPENDENCIES

• Python 2.7
• COBE
• postcasio/python-twitter - modified version of python-twitter with support for new API options.

SETUP

Create a new cobe brain:

cobe init

Prime it with your data:

cobe learn [file]

Create a twitter account and use it to register an application on dev.twitter.com. Set access to read/write and generate an access token. Enter the necessary information into config-example.py and rename it to config.py

Run twert.py --stdout to test. If the result is to your liking, you can schedule updates with cron.

For regular COBE use, including console and irc use, read the COBE README.
