geventweet
==========
Real-time Twitter streaming python web app using ``gevent`` and ``gevent-socketio``.
The idea was to get a working and nice example of how to write a simple asynchronous web application using socketIO with python.
I took inspiration from the examples provided by the ``gevent-socketio`` team and the work of ``ajdavis/chirp``, thank you guys.
technical overview
==================
``geventweet`` uses the following :
Main asynchronous logic and socketIO support by :
* gevent (http://www.gevent.org/)
* gevent-socketio (https://github.com/abourget/gevent-socketio)
Twitter Streaming API support by :
* tweetstream (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tweetstream)
HTML5 interface using :
* bootstrap (https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap)
installation
============
Before you run the app, make sure you have the following available :
* ``gevent-socketio`` python module and its dependencies
* ``tweetstream`` python module
The ``bootstrap`` part is provided, don't worry about it.
try it out
