Daily Python Tips

App built for Code Challenge 40 - Daily Python Tip Part 1 - Make a Web App

I deployed it to https://pytip.herokuapp.com

Setup

To run this app locally:

• Create a virtual env

• Create a DB called pytip (I use Postgres)

• Add env variables to venv/bin/activate:

  • Twitter API: CONSUMER_KEY / CONSUMER_SECRET / ACCESS_TOKEN / ACCESS_SECRET
  • DATABASE_URL = 'postgres://user:pw@localhost:5432/pytip' (tests use pytip_tests)
  • If your run it on Heroku set APP_LOCATION to heroku (similar deployment instructions as prchecker)

• Install the dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Get the python_tip tweets:

    (venv) $ python tasks/import_tweets.py
  

• To run the tests create a postgres DB called pytip_test, then:

    (venv) $ pytest
    ===  test session starts ===
    platform darwin -- Python 3.6.1, pytest-3.2.3, py-1.4.34, pluggy-0.4.0
    rootdir: /Users/bbelderb/Documents/code/pytip, inifile:
    collected 5 items
  
    tests/test_tasks.py .
    tests/test_tips.py ....
  
    === 5 passed in 1.04 seconds ===
  

• Run the Bottle app:

    (venv) $ python app.py
    Bottle v0.12.13 server starting up (using WSGIRefServer())...
    Listening on http://localhost:8080/
    Hit Ctrl-C to quit.
  

• Enjoy!
