Asynchronous Twitter API client for Python 3.6+

Installation

To install this module simply run:

pip install 'peony-twitter[all]'

This will install all the modules required to make peony run out of the box. You might feel like some of them are not fit for your needs. Check Advanced installation for more information about how to install only the modules you will need.

Authorize your client

You can use peony.oauth_dance to authorize your client:

>>> from peony.oauth_dance import oauth_dance
>>> tokens = oauth_dance(YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET)
>>> from peony import PeonyClient
>>> client = PeonyClient(**tokens)

This should open a browser to get a pin to authorize your application.

Getting started

You can easily create a client using the class PeonyClient. Make sure to get your api keys and access tokens from Twitter's application management page and/or to Authorize your client

import asyncio

# NOTE: the package name is peony and not peony-twitter
from peony import PeonyClient

# create the client using your api keys
client = PeonyClient(consumer_key=YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY,
                     consumer_secret=YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET,
                     access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN,
                     access_token_secret=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)

# this is a coroutine
req = client.api.statuses.update.post(status="I'm using Peony!!")

# run the coroutine
asyncio.run(req)

Documentation

There is a #peony channel on the Libera IRC network for support and discussion about Peony. You can use Libera's webchat to connect to this channel from your web browser.

Contributing

Every kind of contribution is appreciated.

If you find a bug please start an issue and if you're very motivated you can create a pull request.

If you have a suggestion you can also start an issue and create a pull request if you managed to make it work.

Tests

To run the tests run:

make

The first time this command is run it will install all the dependencies which can take a bit of time.

The tests include a code style test. The code style is mostly PEP8, the only exception so far being long urls included in docstrings and some imports that are not at the top of the file (because they can't be there).

You can also use tox to run the tests, a configuration file is provided:
