Open source Twitter clone (in Ruby/Python) [closed

Question

Is there any production ready open source twitter clones written in Ruby or Python ?

I am more interested in feature rich implementations, not just bare bones twitter like messages (e.g.: APIs, FBconnect, Notifications, etc)

Thanks !

Answer 1

http://github.com/rnielsen/twetter

From their readme:

Twetter is an implementation of the twitter.com API, designed for use in situations where internet access is not available but a large number of people have twitter clients and want to tell each other what they are doing, for example a RailsCamp, where it was first developed.

The current goal is to have it work with as many third party twitter clients as possible. It has currently been tested with Twitterific, TwitterFox, and Spaz on OSX.

Answer 2

Found two relevant projects:

• http://github.com/insoshi/insoshi
• http://github.com/dmitryame/echowaves/wiki

Sadly both appear discontinued

Answer 3

The following open source alternative to twitter : http://identi.ca/ is written using the the software http://status.net/ . It looks like it is written in PHP too.

Also there is http://code.google.com/p/jaikuengine/ which is a microblogging platform for google app engine. This should serve as an example for python implementation.

Also look at http://www.typepad.com/go/motion/

Answer 4

I know of twissandra which is an open source clone. Of course I doubt it meets your need of feature rich implementations.
