Learn about a new UK MP every day and take action.

# Set up a virtualenv
virtualenv env

# activate it
source env/bin/activate

# install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then to run the app, it’s:

gunicorn app:app

You’ll need a TWFY API key. Once you have that, make a local copy of constants.py from the stub.

cp constants.py.in-git constants.py

…and update constants.py with your key.

For the summary stuff, you’ll need NLTK English corpus.

At a python prompt, run:

nltk.download()

Then to gather the data, it’s:

python cron.py

And wait for 650 dots (one per MP) to appear.
