Larry Birdy

Larry Birdy is based on 'birdy' and is sentence-oriented (i.e. sprinkled with syntactic sugar). Through an experimental (and fuzzy oop design) and proof-of-concept way, you can make API calls with exprensiveness (and verbosity).

Install

pip install larry-birdy

Example

from larry.twitter import RestAPI, p

API = RestAPI(CONSUMER_KEY,
