Dependencies

twitter library - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter
$ pip install beautifulsoup4
$ pip install requests
$ pip install pymongo <-- for MongoDB support (must have mongod running!)

Next, edit the settings.py to include your Twitter application settings.

Setting up MongoDB support

dumpmon has the ability to cache pastes using MongoDB. Simply setup an instance of mongod, and set the following values in settings to the appropriate values:

USE_DB = True
DB_HOST = 'localhost'
DB_PORT = 27017

If you do not want DB support, set USE_DB to False.

Executing dumpmon

python dumpmon.py
