About

Vtwt is a command-line interface to Twitter. As of version 0.1.0, OAuth is the only supported authentication mechanism. The “oauth” subcommand can be used to generate an OAuth authorization token for this client to access your Twitter account.

Vtwt is released under an MIT license (see LICENSE).

Installation

vtwt installs using a standard Python distutils setup.py:

$ python setup.py install

Since vtwt is on the Python Package Index, it can also be installed with tools like easy_install:

$ easy_install vtwt

Configuration File

vtwt(1) reads a configuration file (~/.vtwtrc, by default; specified with the –config-file option) that is used to set configuration values that are otherwise passed to the command-line. This file may contain arbitrary Python, though there little reason for non-trivial logic to be there. A typical vtwtrc would look something like the following:

oauth_token = “908a9f8d90af89809a8f” oauth_token_secret = “93084-908a9f8d908978798a7d87af797af89809a8f”
