twss 0.1.8

Setup Instructions

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

This creates a virtual environment for this project and install all the packages necessary for the project to work.

Demo

Once this is installed, you can take it out for a spin:

>>> from twss import TWSS
>>> twss = TWSS()
>>> twss("That was hard")
True
>>> twss("Hello world")
False

The first call can take a while- the module needs to train the classifier against the pre-installed training dataset.

Getting dirty

You can supply your own training data using positive and negative corpus files:

>>> twss = TWSS(positive_corpus_file=open('foo.txt'), negative_corpus_file=open('bar.txt'))

or directly, as a list of tuples:

>>> training_data = [
... ("Sentence 1", True),
... ("Sentence 2", False),
...
... ]
>>> twss = TWSS(training_data)

Roadmap

• Making this pip-installable.

• Writing a sample web app.

• Writing a sample Twitter client.
