DiasporaTwitterLinkage

Python script to post a single user's Twitter posts to Diaspora, designed to be run as a cron script

Installation

Install python, python-requests
    sudo apt-get install python python-pip python-dev ipython
    sudo pip install requests
Install diaspy from Github (version in pip didn't work for me)
    git clone https://github.com/marekjm/diaspy
    sudo python setup.py install
Installpython-twitter
    sudo pip install python-twitter
Install the python script I wrote
    Copy to right directory
    Customize config for your logins
        Create an OAuth login for your app at https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
            Then go to "Keys and Access Tokens" tab
            "Create Access Token"
            Copy into config
        Set the pathDBfn to the name of a good location and filename for the SQLite database that will prevent duplication of posts being copied
    Test it
        python DTLconfig.py
Set up cron to run the script once a day
    sudo crontab -e
    Then insert the following into your crontab:
