display-hashtag.py

Displays tweets that contain a specified hashtag

Instructions:

sudo pip install twitter
mkdir ~/python
cd ~/python
git clone https://github.com/pdp7/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code.git
git clone https://github.com/pdp7/tweetypi.git
cd tweetypi

The only required argument for display-hashtag is the hashtag. The '#' prefix should be omitted as it is added by the code. The defaults assume 16x2 char LCD.

sudo ./display-hashtag bears

Here would be the arguments for 20x4 LCD:

sudo ./display-hashtag --verbose --cols 20 --rows 4 --delay 3 bears
