Need help with python datetime tweet #26

Closed DarthKeizer closed 6 years ago

DarthKeizer commented 7 years ago

Could anyone be kind enough to help me out? I wanted to post the datetime along with the rest of the tweet and I just could not get it to work. Can anyone help me out? It should be easy, but for the life of me I cant figure it out :(.

I think in the JSON file you could make {date}
In the python file at twitter message return {date.time} ?

Hi @DarthKeizer,

I added

i = datetime.now()

On line 15 of speedcomplainer.py

Then edited (what is now) lines 144 - 146

if api:
tweet = message + i.strftime('%d/%m/%y @ %H:%M:%S')
status = api.PostUpdate(tweet)

Then added a single space at the end of each "tweetThresholds" in config.json to create a space between the end of the tweet and the timestamp.
