About

This bot is still in alpha.

To Use

Step 1:

Review, change, or add puns to "Word Replacements" in pupdictionary.py Format is for changing puns is 'existing word':'pun' so "Algorithm" is changed to "algrrrrrythm" with 'algorithm': 'algrrrrrrrithym'

Step 2:

Paste text to be parsed in raw_statspupsays.txt Later this will be updated with how to automatically scrape from wikipedia pages of your choice.

Step 3:

Run the command python pupdictionary.py
This parses the raw text and replaces it with puns. The parsed output text of statpupsays.txt is then chunked for twitter using NLTK library. You will get the message "DONSIES" when its complete.

Step 4:

Check the output file of statspup_chunks.txt
If you see \n that means the line is 140 characters. If you see SPLIT then you need to fix that line otherwise you'll get an error from Twitter API that the tweet is too long.

Step 5:

Now you're ready to tweet. Run python barkbark.py (Here named barkbark_forgithub.py so you can see how to enter authkeys). Either leave it running in the background via a rasberry pi or a chron task scheduler.
