# An example of how to use tweepy for the Twitter API.

# Unfortunately, OAuth seems to rely on every user having their own
# secret app code; that means that to use this, you have to register
# a new app with a new name, then get your own consumer and consumer_secret
# keys; then you can use this app to get your own token and secret token.
# Why OAuth requires four tokens if it can only ever be used for one
# user at a time and the tokens aren't supposed to be shared is beyond me.
#
# Get your tokens when you register your app on Twitter's website,
# then set up ~/.config/YOURAPPNAME/ to look like this:
# consumer YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY
# consumer_secret YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET_KEY
# access_token YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
# access_token_secret YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

# Module Documentation:
