A twitter scraper written in python which pulls recent tweets by account name, conducts sentiment analysis, and saves a file.
You will need to install some dependencies for this to run.
I recommend home-brew if running on mac : http://brew.sh/
Twython: brew install twython
Dateutil: pip install python-dateutil
TextBlob: pip install text blob
Note: will install NLTK. Both are used for sentiment analysis.
To run a file, run: python [candidate_name.py]
Example: python berne.py
TODO: Re-write script so python screen name is not hard coded. Edit output file to be dynamically named and unique for screen/datetime. Conduct additional analysis, and expand time range to fit with twitters API.
