Simple tool to pull tweets and do some kind of analysis to. Probably just 'num of tweets per user per day'.

it's a work in progress.

Usage: twitterstats.py get-tweets TwitterHandle

twitterstats.py show-stats TwitterHandle

Known issues:

• can't pull tweets from protected timelines, but will generate false 'zero' stats for them.
• will hit the twitter rate limit when populating the database when run for a new user with a moderate (>100) number of friends. Cant really do anything about this; It will pick up where it left off when you re-run after the window resets.
• doesn't really deal with unfollowed users - it will only add new users as they are followed. could resolve with a housekeeping function to delete no longer followed users, but requires more thought to implement a robust solution
