Is it possible to have the script consistently post and retrieve images from the subreddit as the day goes on? I'm running python3.2 and it only posts one image before stopping the script. I have it set to download the top 25 posts (from awwni.me and imgur.com on the subreddit).

Have you checked if the bot has already posted (or tried to post) those top posts and has the post IDs in the cache?

It posts one image, and it logs itself, but the script stops after the first image posting. It downloaded 25 images (per my user settings) and only posted the first image.

Did it actually download the images? Have you checked if the subreddit you're querying actually has 25 "hot" posts? Perhaps try writing a separate script querying the subreddit for the top 25 "hot" posts and see if 25 come up. IIRC posts are only "hot" for the first 24h.

Hey, not sure if you're still working on this, when I try running it on a raspberry pi 24/7 it will do about 3-5 posts and then simply stop and bring up the prompt as if its waiting for a new command and the script has finished.

Looking to run this 24/7 as a simple news aggregate bot for friends and I :)
