Have iphone read aloud Twitter TL using Pythonista3

background

When I finished my work and wanted to watch Twitter's TL, I didn't have time to watch Twitter because I had a lot of other things I wanted to do, so I just listened to the iPhone talking.

environment

iPhone8 13.2.3 Pythonista3 3.2 Tweepy 3.5.0

Preparation

・ Installation of Pythonista3 ・ Twitter API registration application (Reference: Play with Python using Twitter API) ・ Installation of StaSh (Reference: Install StaSh on Pythonista 3) ・ Installation of Tweepy

file organization

This time I made the following file structure. ├─ twitterconfig.py # Manage credentials ├─sp_timeline.py # Code that actually works └

code

sp_timeline.py

#!Pythonista3
#Program to have iphone read your TL

import time, speech, twitterconfig
from twitterconfig import api

shu_kai = 0
maxid = None
while True:
	home_tweet = api.home_timeline(max_id=maxid)
	#Measures to prevent the last tweet of the first lap and the first tweet of the second lap from overlapping on the second lap
	if maxid != None:
		home_tweet = home_tweet[1:]
	for tweet in home_tweet:
		print('__________________________________________')
		#View of tweeter
		print(tweet.user.name + '(@' + tweet.user.screen_name +')')
		#Display of tweet text
		print(tweet.text)
		#Do not read the link aloud
		if 'https' in tweet.text:
			https_ofset = tweet.text.find('https')
			tweet.text = tweet.text[:https_ofset]
		speech.say(tweet.text, 'ja-JP', 0.5)
		time.sleep(15)
	shu_kai += 1
	shu_kai_text = str(shu_kai) + 'End of lap'
	print('--------------',shu_kai_text,'--------------')
	#maxid to the last tweet.Make it an id, and then bring an older timeline.
	maxid = tweet.id
	time.sleep(60)

result

It might be useful for Twitter addicts like me, as I can listen to TL while working elsewhere. However, the pronunciation of iPhone is not so good, so it might be a good idea to find someone else ...
