Installing

You can install using the standard setuptools:

(sudo) easy_install dinospeak

With sudo, dinospeak will be installed eg. in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dinospeak-0.x-py2.6.egg/.

The current implementation depends on smaz. The above command should install it automatically for you.

Alternatively, grab the source code itself:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/glezos/dinospeak

Running

There’s a test file which produces some results from the library:

$ python <path-to-dinospeak>/test.py

In:@aethaeth blah.

In:@glezos Hello man, how are you?
