A twitter bot that tweets Godspeed You! Black Emperor lyrics.
gybote can be found in the wild here: https://twitter.com/gybote
The only external dependency that gybote requires is Tweepy, one of the many python-twitter APIs. Tweepy was chosen because well, it's easy.
You can read more about tweepy here: http://docs.tweepy.org/en/v3.2.0/
To install:
$ pip install tweepyIn addition to tweepy there is also the possibility that you require one more additional dependency. If you are running into the problem where urllib3 cannot establish a secure connection and you are receiving the below error then you need to install requests.
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.

Requests is a python http library that essentially auto-injects itself into your http requests, doing all of the heavy lifting for you.
You can read more about requests here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
To install:
$ pip install requests[security]The only changes required for gybote to run are the constants found in config.py. These include credentials provided by twitter, the location of the dictionary to be tweeted, and the character to denote comments.
These are defined in /gybote/config.py as API_KEY, API_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, and ACCESS_SECRET. They can be found by going to the settings page for your app and clicking on "Keys and Access Tokens". Here you can also change the amount of time gybote sleeps in between tweets.
cd into the project's root directory and run:
$ python gybote/gybote.pygybote uses a dictionary of all the Godspeed lyrics I could find or transcribe myself. It should not be considered a complete dictionary. The dictionary can be found in the /dict directory as gybe-lyrics.txt.
The default character '#' is used to denote a comment. The code that accounts for this can be found in gybote.py, however in gybote.py it might look slightly different. COMMENT_CHARACTER is set in config.py.
Feel free to add your own dictionaries for use with gybote.py.
# get the line
pointer = 0
for line in file_list:
if pointer == r_int:
if line[0] != COMMENT_CHARACTER:
