display-hashtag.py 

------------------

Displays tweets that contain a specified hashtag

Instructions:


sudo pip install twitter

mkdir ~/python

cd ~/python

git clone https://github.com/pdp7/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code.git

git clone https://github.com/pdp7/tweetypi.git

cd tweetypi



The only required argument for display-hashtag is the hashtag.  The '#' prefix should be omitted as it is added by the code.  The defaults assume 16x2 char LCD.


sudo ./display-hashtag bears



Here would be the arguments for 20x4 LCD:


sudo ./display-hashtag --verbose --cols 20 --rows 4 --delay 3 bears
