No problems, Issues are good for requests and proposal but for code edits PRs fit at best our needs!

@Nestor75 I've also added the tweet link too. I feel like right now adding mentions is not really needed, but I might feel different in the future. Thanks for the suggestions.

that's great :) I think including the header in the CSV file if the file does not exist could be very useful.

you would hace to import os and use a code like this but with the popper header fields in the output.py file :

if not (os.path.exists(file)):
with open(file, "a", newline='', encoding="utf-8") as csv_file:
writer = csv.writer(csv_file, delimiter="\t")
writer.writerow(["tweetid", "date", "time", "timezone", "user","text",
"replies","retweets","likes", "hashtags",
"mentions", "user_id", "permanent Link"])
writer.writerow(data)

    else:
               with open(file, "a", newline='', encoding="utf-8") as csv_file:
                    writer = csv.writer(csv_file, delimiter="\t")
                    writer.writerow(data)
