social 0.1.dev3

Social is a python package for social data analysis and exploitation

This project gathers social data and routines for analysis and exploitation. At the most fundamental level, social participation linked data is accessed and analyzed. Public data, such as provided by the Gmane database or donated profiles from private networks (e.g. Facebook), or even gathered by Twitter, is incorporated as RDF in the Social Graph considered. Observance of stability and the synthesis of audiovisual artifacts eases observation, probing and exploitation.

Usage example

Download messages from one GMANE list:

import social as S

# put facebook user and password in ~/.social/fb/profile
# or login on the browser window that will appear
# or input login as arguments:
sb=S.ScrapyBrowser()
# input user id and returns the friend ids (and names...)
friends=sb.getFriends()

# To load GDF file:
fg=S.GDFgraph("../data/RenatoFabbri06022014.gdf") # graph should be on fg.G
# To make an abstract animtion with it:
song=S.FSong(fg.G,"fsong/",True,True,False,True)
# Check mixedVideo.webm
