Request : Filtering features

[jslm]

Hi there, When follow or like functions by hashtag : Would be great to add these filters (and to be able to combines them together) :

• Gender (male/female)
• (AND/OR) Words/phrase in caption
• (AND/OR) Mention (@user)
• (AND/OR) Profil (bio)

Let me know!

instagram does not store the user's gender. But filtering by word in caption and profile can be done

I would also like to see said filters, but I believe implementing middleware-based filtering could be a better idea since…

• it would leave the code cleaner
• allow custom filters (no need for updating the library)
• allow complicated filters that would never make it into the library

i.e. I imagine being able to use the Clarifai API to filter irrelevant and NSFW content (also selective automatic reposting and smart commenting, although that's another discussion)

A helper module could provide the most common filters for profiles and media, ready to be used with minimal configuration. I would be willing to contribute the code for middleware support, provided that you see it fit for a novice Python developer.
