This GTK 3 module written in python 3.3 will show the 5 latest tweets of a given account and refresh X given seconds.

It is a part of the Douane project.

I'm not a python expert developer, I'm just doing python at home so I didn't spent time to have compliant code with PEP8.

I have plan to do that later on but if an expert is passing here and wants to contribute, he will be the welcome!

I am using it for my application Douane configurator and here it is how it looks like:

The library is now available in a PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository http://repository.douaneapp.com/
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 874CAFB5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gtktwitterbox

You can import this Git repository as submodule in your project.

To do so open a terminal in the root path of your python project and execute the following:

git submodule add git://github.com/zedtux/gtktwitterbox.git gtktwitterbox

This command will create a new folder gtktwitterbox in your project.

Import it

from gtktwitterbox.twitter import GtkTwitterBox

Embed it

GtkTwitterBox(vbox_main, "douaneapp", 15)

• The first argument is the Gtk container where you want to have GtkTwitterBox.
• The second argument is the twitter account name
• The third argument is the interval of time to refresh tweets (in seconds)

You can also have a look at the test.py file
