twitter-markov 0.6.0

Create markov chain ("_ebooks") accounts on Twitter

Create markov chain (”_ebooks”) accounts on Twitter. The audience for this library is those with at least basic Python experience. Before you set this up, you’ll need: * A twitter account * A twitter application (register at dev.twitter.com) with authentication keys for the account (read more) * A text for the bot to learn from, which can be a text file or a Twitter archive. Several thousand lines are needed to get decent results, with fewer than 100 or so it won’t work at all.

Install

Run pip install twitter_markov, or download/clone the package and run python setup.py install. Feel free to use a virtualenv, if you’re into that.
