Plurk Python Post Script

Neville Newey of muti wrote the following Python script similar in function to the PHP script I wrote a bit earlier today. Essentially it lets you post a new message to your plurk account.

import urllib
import urllib2
import cookielib

# Based on Charl VN's PHP Code

PLURK_LOGIN_URL = 'http://www.plurk.com/Users/login'
PLURK_ADD_URL = 'http://www.plurk.com/TimeLine/addPlurk'
NICKNAME = 'yourname'
PASSWORD = 'secret'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Set up 
    jar = cookielib.CookieJar()
    handler = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(jar)
    opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler)
    
    # Login phase ...
    url = PLURK_LOGIN_URL
    values = { 'nick_name': NICKNAME, 'password': PASSWORD }
    data = urllib.urlencode(values)
    req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
    response = opener.open(req)

    # Now plurk something!
    values = {'content': 'Plurking from Python!', 'lang':'en', 'no_comments':'0'}
    data = urllib.urlencode(values)
    data+='&qualifier=%3A'  # Dont know if this is needed 
    url = PLURK_ADD_URL
    req = urllib2.Request(url, data)
    response = opener.open(req)
    print response.read()

This is the base for a new hook script so that you can now follow muti on plurk!
