RSE2-D2 Twitter bot - Providing helpful advice for research software

Setup

It's probably helpful to use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper to manage your environment.

Once you have them installed, create a new environment:

mkvirtualenv --python=python3.7 RSE2-D2

Then install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Currently we're using tweepy for interacting with Twitter and pygithub to interact with GitHub.
