P1X Mastodon Reader

Reads (audio) notifications from Mastodon instance.

Setup

Here are all the Python libraries that are needed to be installed using pip for the script:

• Mastodon.py: A Python wrapper for the Mastodon (a federated social network) API.
• Screen reader: Speech Dispatcher (spd-say).
• beautifulsoup4: A Python library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files.

You can install these dependencies using the following pip commands:

pip install Mastodon.py beautifulsoup4 pillow

Please ensure that your Python environment is set up and activated before running these commands. If you're using Python 3, you might need to use pip3 instead of pip.

This should install all necessary dependencies for the script to work properly.
