Twoot is a python script that mirrors tweets from a twitter account to a Mastodon account.
It is simple to set-up on a local machine, configurable and feature-rich.
**28 JUN 2023** VERSION 4.0
**12 JUL 2023** VERSION 4.1
* Added option to update avatar and banner pictures on profile if changed on Twitter
**Nitter has recently added a change that highlights tweets that are part of a thread. Twoot
cannot handle this modification yet therefore TWEETS THAT ARE PART OF A THREAD ARE CURRENTLY
IGNORED.** A warning message is added to the log file instead.
An update is being worked on. Stay tuned.
**A new dependency to python module `pytz` has been added**. Please run `pip install pytz`
in your environment to install it.
* Added option to display timestamp of the original tweet in toot
* Tweaked list of nitter instances
* Updated list of user agents
> Previous updates can be found in CHANGELOG.

twitter and uploaded on Mastodon. The check is very fast if there is no update.
### Adding timestamp of original tweet to toot
Use `tweet_time_format` option in configuration file to specify the datetime format to display the date
at which the tweet was published next to the "Original tweet" link. Valid format specifiers are
the same as those used to format datetimes in python
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior).
e.g. `tweet_time_format = "(%d %b %Y %H:%M %Z)"`
An empty or missing `tweet_time_format` disables the display of the timestamp.
By default, dates are specified in UTC time zone. To convert the timestamp to another time zone,
use the `tweet_timezone` option in configuration file. Valid time zone names are those of the Olson time
zone database (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database)
e.g. `tweet_timezone = "Europe/Paris"`
### Rate control
Default max age is 1 day. Decimal values are OK.
