Terminal-based Twitter Client. Realtime tweetstream, compose, search ,\r
favorite … and much more fun directly from terminal.\r
\r
This package is built on the top of `Python Twitter Tool`_ and `Twitter API`_,\r
can run on Python 2.7.x and 3.x .\r

\r
Install\r
-------\r
\r
The quick way\r
^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
\r
You will need Python and pip (2.7.x or 3.x).\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    sudo pip install rainbowstream\r
    # Python 3 users: sudo pip3 install rainbowstream\r
\r
\r
The recommended way\r
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
\r
Use `virtualenv`_\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    virtualenv venv\r
    # Python 3 users : use -p to specify your Python 3 localtion as below\r
    # virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv\r
    source venv/bin/activate\r
    pip install rainbowstream\r
\r
Troubleshooting\r
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
\r
If you use Linux, you might need to install some packages if you haven't already.\r
For debian-based distros, these can be installed with\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    sudo apt-get install python-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev\r
\r
Besides, Mac OSX Maverick with Xcode 5.1 has a well-known `clang unknown argument`_ problem with\r
the ``Pillow`` package installation - a dependency of this app.\r
If you are in this case, I recommend taking a look at `Issue #10`_ and let me know if this workaround doesn't work for you.\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future\r
\r
If installation in *the quick way* doesn't work:\r
\r
-  ``sudo pip uninstall rainbowstream``\r
-  use the *virtualenv way* above\r
-  `create an issue`_ and provide:\r
\r
  + Your OS\r
  + Your Python version\r
\r
Usage\r
-----\r
\r
The stream\r
^^^^^^^^^^\r
\r
Just type\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    rainbowstream\r
\r
and see your stream.\r
\r
I shipped a feature which can display **tweet's images directly on terminal**.\r
You can try it with:\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    rainbowstream -iot # Or rainbowstream --image-on-term\r
\r
You also can change the config key ``IMAGE_ON_TERM`` to ``True`` inside the app\r
to enable above feature,\r
change ``IMAGE_SHIFT`` to set image's margin (relative to your terminal's width)\r
or ``IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT`` to control max height of every image.\r
(see `config management`_ section).\r
\r
In the first time you will be asked for authorization of Rainbow Stream\r
app at Twitter. Just click the “Authorize access” button and paste PIN\r
number to the terminal, the rainbow will start.\r
\r
You might want to use rainbowstream via an **HTTP/SOCKS proxy**. Proxy settings are\r
provided as follows:\r
\r
.. code:: bash\r
\r
    rainbowstream --proxy-host localhost --proxy-port 1337 --proxy-type HTTP\r
    # or using the short form:\r
    rainbowstream -ph localhost -pp 1337 -pt HTTP\r
\r
Both ``--proxy-port`` and ``--proxy-type`` can be omitted. In this case default\r
proxy port ``8080`` and default proxy type ``SOCKS5`` are used.\r
\r
The interactive mode\r
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
\r
While your personal stream is continued, you are also ready to tweet,\r
search, reply, retweet… directly from console. Simply type “h” and hit\r
the Enter key to see the help.\r
\r
Input is in interactive mode. It means that you can use arrow key to\r
move up and down history, tab-autocomplete or 2 tab to view available\r
suggestion. Input history from previous run is available as well.\r
\r
Available commands are listed in `Read The Docs`_.\r
\r
Theme customization\r
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\r
\r
Rainbow Stream is shipped with some default themes.\r
You can either change theme by ``theme`` command or create your favorite one.\r
\r
Theme’s screenshot:\r

Development\r
-----------\r
\r
If you want to build a runnable version yourself, follow these simple\r
steps\r
\r
-  `Create your own Twitter Application`_\r
-  Get your Twitter application’s API key and secret\r
-  Fork this repo and clone in your system.\r
-  Create a file ``consumer.py`` in `rainbowstream`_ folder with\r
   following content\r
\r
   .. code:: python\r
\r
       # Consumer information\r
       CONSUMER_KEY = 'APIKey' # Your Twitter application's API key\r
       CONSUMER_SECRET = 'APISecret' # Your Twitter application's API secret\r
\r
-  Use pip to install in local\r
\r
   .. code:: bash\r
\r
       # cd to directory which contains setup.py (cloned directory)\r
       virtualenv venv # Python3 users: use -p to specify python3\r
       source venv/bin/activate\r
       pip install -e .\r
       which rainbowstream # /this-directory/venv/bin/rainbowstream\r
       # Remove ~/.rainbow_oauth if exists\r
       rainbowstream # local version of rainbowstream\r
