Python & StackExchange API

Something whipped up quickly that does nothing but gather and show data from the StackExchange API

💻 Dependencies

• StackAPI - A Python wrapper for the StackExchange API

🔧 Setup

Clone this repo.

git clone git@github.com:sframe/python-stackexchange-api.git

cd python-stackexchange-api

🔰 Considerations for New Python Users

Use a Python version manager, e.g.pyenv

pyenv install 3.11.2

Use Python's built in venv to keep module installations clean and isolated to this project.

python -m venv .venv

Installing is not enough! source should be run for every new session.

source .venv/bin/activate

🔩 Install Dependencies

Don't pollute your global python installation with project dependencies. See Considerations for New Python Users
