DentTHIS --- A simple script to post to instances of status.net (a microblogging (uBlog) service) such as identi.ca.

About

DentTHIS is a simple script to post to an instance of status.net (a microblogging (uBlog) service).

Features include:

• [NEW] Demo mode now doesn't ignore you and post anyway (oops)
• Ability to set whether or not URLs are shortened (never, only when necessary or always) in config.
• Demo mode to test what WOULD have been posted.
• Reply-To option to reply to an existing message.
• Ability to post to any status.net instance (not just identi.ca).
• Automatic shortening of URL (if required) using http://ln-s.net/ link shortening service.
• Config file to store credentials.

Requirements

DentTHIS is just a python2 script and therefore only requires python (version 2.x).

Having said that, it has only been tested in Linux (and only ArchLinux at that).

Use Case

Here is an example of using DentTHIS to post a comment, namely linking to itself (how meta!)

Command:

dentthis Posting to identi.ca about my command line denting tool, dentthis, at http://datapax.com.au/dentthis/

On success, you should see output like this:

Posted: Posting to identi.ca about my command line denting tool, dentthis, at http://datapax.com.au/dentthis/

NOTE: If the string length was larger than the specified maximum message length, dentthis could have used ln-s to shorten the URL automatically.
