I am using python-twitter on my site. I have a problem when the
Twitter site is down. This results in an error message. I did not
found out if the users gets an error message or not. To use Twitter on
my site I have this context_processors.py
import datetime
import time
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.cache import cache
import twitter
def latest_tweet( request ):
tweet = cache.get( 'tweet' )
if tweet:
return {"tweet": tweet}
tweet = twitter.Api().GetUserTimeline( settings.TWITTER_USER,
count=5 )
for s in tweet:
s.date =
datetime.datetime(*(time.strptime( s.created_at, "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S
+0000 %Y" )[0:6]))
cache.set( 'tweet', tweet, settings.TWITTER_TIMEOUT )
return {"tweet": tweet}
My idea is to put the cache.set( 'tweet', tweet,
settings.TWITTER_TIMEOUT ) in a view, and call this view in a cron
job. Is this the right way to solve this?
The context_processors.py is heavily based on the example i found in
this site btw:
