⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal: The session aimed to develop Python scripts to manage Twitter followers efficiently using the Tweepy library. The focus was on file management, automation, and ensuring data integrity.
Key Activities:
- Implemented a Python function to write follower data to a file with a line limit to prevent file overflow.
- Created a function to retrieve and save followers of users from a ‘followers_list’ to a ‘fu_candidates’ file using Tweepy.
- Developed a function to write unique followers to a file, avoiding duplicates by using a set.
- Modified a function to follow users based on their follower count and organized user information into different files.
- Implemented a script to follow users with a follower count between 1000 and 10000, categorizing them based on follow status.
- Added functionality to remove processed lines from a file using the
linecacheandoslibraries.
Achievements: Completed the development of several Python functions for managing Twitter followers, including writing, following, and organizing followers based on specific criteria.
Pending Tasks:
- Test the developed scripts in a live environment to ensure they function as expected.
- Refactor code for efficiency and readability if necessary.
