I'm studying Python at the moment and I'm looking for some easy projects to do in order to gain hands on experience. After having written the code of a dice simulator for Risk!, I'm now thinking of a Twitter bot as my next project. Has anybody done it? Would you reccomend doing it?

Since joining devRant I've felt much more motivated to progress in learning Python and if it felt really rewarding to play Risk! without rolling the dice, it also thanks to you all. Sorry for ths cheesy nuance and for this not being a rant.

I've never done a Twitter bot. But I would guess you should find Twitter python API first, that would make things easier.

Btw, kivy is good.

I did a project in Python that you could kind of call a Twitter bot, but all it did was read data from certain users tweets and store it in my MySQL database. Thus way I could store the unchanged and original tweets even if removed from Twitter. Planned on doing some analysis on the data after I automated the process of data collection, but never got to it.

Starting out, be sure to look at the Twitter API documentation if you haven't already. They use OAuth 2 for authentication, so familiarize yourself with how that works with the Twitter API. It's pretty straight forward.
