GMU:Bots 'n' Plots/Azucena Sanchez

Hello World!


Progress

I manage to clean the code and now I am tweeting sentences without comas or other type characters that cause the sentence to look dirty and not clear. The words are still random and i don't know if I will keep it that way. I am going to create another bot that will take the sentences twitted by @RolandAndLeif and will produce an image out of them. It will only be pixels or better yet squares.

 

Midterm Bot

This is a bot that takes a song from the band Interpol called Leif Erikson. It tries to take line by line from the lyrics and re-arrange them. My experiment was to see if some nice combinations could be created from lyrics that are very thoughtful and metaphoric.

So far the bot is running in twitter and is working, but I still need to clean it and take it a step further, I wan to take the lyrics from the song Roland (also from interpol) and mix them in one tweet, to make ir more interesting.

This is the code

import tweepy
import sys
import time
import random
from time import sleep

#TWITTER KEYS
consumer_key = "JgAFe2vulLO4KvSvHPdNI30xA"
consumer_secret = "Zbu0zBP8g4sdS5LX4XrI9y3ddNdGfj0woSxxFgxiX5wrMNpC9X"
access_token = "3329105651-NI0NPXV2HUCRTXPueHdEhzRCoKPNwwf3vxOd5yj"
access_token_secret = "obFHhsKlQ7KlXAXOqz7c5zMf3qvYDSsfvtnw84cFBqV4N"

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.secure = True
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

#INITIALIZATION
l = "leifErikson.txt"

leif = open (l)
print("Leif Erikson is in da house")
lines = leif.readlines()

for line in lines:
	li = line.split(' ')
	random.shuffle(li)
        clean=' '.join(li)
	api.update_status(status = clean)
	print(clean)
	time.sleep(90)


leif.close()
