bma/ projects/ twitter-notifier

twitter-notifier is a Python script to display twitter updates. It uses libnotify to display each update.

I’m not particularly interested in having DBus stuff running on my systems at the moment, so this is pretty much unmaintained. I’m using some of the code for other scripts, though, which may get published soon.

Requirements

  • python-notify (and therefore DBus/notification-daemon etc.).
  • python-simplejson.
  • python-yaml.

Download

Available via git

Usage

  • mkdir ~/.twitter-notifier/ ~/.twitter-notifier/images (will be fixed in future).

  • Edit ~/.twitter-notifier/conf to add the following:

    user: <your twitter username or email>
pass: <your password>

  • Optionally, add the following:

    timeout: <length of time to display each update>

  • Run twitter-notifier. It will fork and run as a daemon.
