Mastodon.py
===========
Python wrapper for the Mastodon ( https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/ ) API.
Feature complete for public API as of Mastodon version 3.0.1 and easy to get started with:

.. code-block:: python

    # Register your app! This only needs to be done once. Uncomment the code and substitute in your information.
    
    from mastodon import Mastodon

    '''
    Mastodon.create_app(
         'pytooterapp',
         api_base_url = 'https://mastodon.social',
         to_file = 'pytooter_clientcred.secret'
    )
    '''

    # Then login. This can be done every time, or use persisted.

    from mastodon import Mastodon
    
    mastodon = Mastodon(
        client_id = 'pytooter_clientcred.secret',
        api_base_url = 'https://mastodon.social'
    )
    mastodon.log_in(
        'my_login_email@example.com',
        'incrediblygoodpassword',
        to_file = 'pytooter_usercred.secret'
    )

    # To post, create an actual API instance.

    from mastodon import Mastodon
    
    mastodon = Mastodon(
        access_token = 'pytooter_usercred.secret',
        api_base_url = 'https://mastodon.social'
    )
    mastodon.toot('Tooting from python using #mastodonpy !')

You can install Mastodon.py via pypi:

.. code-block:: Bash
   
   # Python 3
   pip3 install Mastodon.py

Note that python 2.7 is now no longer officially supported. It will still 
work for a while, and we will fix issues as they come up, but we will not 
be testing specifically for python 2.7 any longer.

Full documentation and basic usage examples can be found 
at http://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ .
