Publish your feed items to twitter
Project description
Feed2twitter updates a twitter account from a xml feed. It’s a free alternative to services like Twitterfeed.
To install feed2twitter:
install python-twitter: http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/
install feedparser: http://www.feedparser.org/
Install it with: python setup.py install
Running:
You need to set your feed and your twitter account.
Create a folder under the $HOME of the user that will run feed2twitter called .feed2twitter
Add a file called default.cfg, like this:
[global] url = http://example.com/rss username = twitter_user password = twitter_password mode = text interval = 01:00
The url is the url for the feed that you want to publish, mode can be ‘text’ (140 chars of your post text) or ‘title’ (your post title, with a link). The interval is the interval in which the feed2twitter will publish your last posts.
Run it with the command feed2twitter. It will update your twitter with your latest 5 posts, in the interval that you have set.
Kudos to Gleicon da Silveira (http://zenmachine.wordpress.com/about/), that give me a idea of the code in a post of his blog.
