Twitter bot not to interact with certain phrases

I'm making a Twitter bot that replies or likes tweets. I want it not to interact with certain phrases. For example: don't interact with tweets that have the phrase ''yellow banana". Here's my code and my attempted solution isn't working. I'm trying to get the tweet text and compare it to the "frases_naocurtir" variable that has phrase that there shouldn't be interaction. It keeps picking up these tweets and interacting.
rc = random.choice(frases)
for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search_tweets, rc).items(1):
time.sleep(random.randint(time_init, time_final))
try:
cstatus = api.get_status(tweet.id, tweet_mode="extended")
text = cstatus.full_text
time.sleep(random.randint(time_init, time_final))
if rc in frases_curtir and text not in frases_naocurtir and vaicurtir != 0:
print('\nFrase buscada curtir: ' + str(rc))
tweet.favorite()
print('\nTweet curtido de: ' + tweet.user.screen_name + '\nTweet ID: ' + str(tweet.id) +
'\nTweet date: ' + str(tweet.created_at.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')))
time.sleep(random.randint(time_init, time_final))
if vairesponder != 0 and vaicurtir == 0:
rc = random.choice(frases_responder)
continue
if vairesponder == 0 and vaicurtir != 0:
rc = random.choice(frases_curtir)
continue
if vairesponder != 0 and vaicurtir != 0:
rc = random.choice(frases)
continue

You are stuck at this point because rtm_client.start() is a synchronous call.
If you want it to be asynchronous (non-blocking) then you should run:
rtm_client.start(run_async=True)
Here it is good walk-through on how to setup async usage of the library. Also have a look at the method signature for RTMClient to get an idea of how it works.
Here's a good example detailing a lot of what you would need in your case.
Then you will hit your db execution code where you will need to have a while loop to go through the data you want to add to the DB.
I would recommend that you use a Queue for this as it is synchronised and will be easier to manage than a global list which is overwritten on every order. Preferably you could use asyncio.Queue with an example of implementation here
When an order has passed the validation steps add it to the queue. Here is some pseudo code describing the flow with a basic (not asyncio) Queue:
import queue
q = queue.Queue()
def validate_order(order):
valid_order_data = ......
q.put(valid_order_data)
while True:
valid_order = q.get() # Will wait until there is a value on the queue
mycursor.execute(sqlformula, (valid_order))

Identify sending user, Python IRC

So I made a Twitch.tv bot for my own channel, after having fun with it a little bit, I wanted to have some command restricted to some users, and some commands that can say the users name, for example:
Username reply example:
Person1: !tea
PythonBot: Would you like some tea, Person1?
Admin restriction example:
Person1: !ban Person2
PythonBot: I'm sorry, Person1, This command is restricted to admins only.
Ok, So here is the code I'm using (I will be modifying it soon to make it my own)
import socket
import threading
bot_owner = '~Not Today~'
nick = '~Not Today~'
channel = '~Not Today~'
server = 'irc.twitch.tv'
password = '~Not Today~'
queue = 13
irc = socket.socket()
irc.connect((server, 6667))
irc.send('PASS ' + password + '\r\n')
irc.send('USER ' + nick + ' 0 * :' + bot_owner + '\r\n')
irc.send('NICK ' + nick + '\r\n')
irc.send('JOIN ' + channel + '\r\n')
def message(msg):
global queue
queue = 5
if queue < 20:
irc.send('PRIVMSG' + channel + ' :' + msg + '\r\n')
else:
print 'Message Deleted'
def queuetimer():
global queue
queue = 0
threading.Timer(30,queuetimer).start()
queuetimer()
while True:
botdata = irc.recv(1204)
botuser = botdata.split(':')[1]
botuser = botuser.split('!')[0]
print botdata
if botdata.find('PING') != -1:
irc.send(botdata.replace('PING', 'PONG'))
if botdata.find('!res') != -1:
irc.send(botdata.replace('!res', '1600x900'))

The twitch IRC raw message is like
:jkm!jkm#jkm.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #trumpsc :needs Kappa
for above msg, it actually means userjkm at channel trumpsc saying needs Kappa
for your code, the method to get botuser is right, but you don't have the message the user sent, add following code should get the message
botmsg = botdata.split(':')[2]
so you get the message and username, the next step would be handling them.
Here would be some example for your need. For me, I will prepared a adminuserList and commmandList for other command, but I will simplify it here.
def commmanHandler(botuser, botmsg): # botmsg = '!ban user1'
command = botmsg.split(' ')[0] # command = '!ban'
command = command[1:] # command = 'ban'
argu = message.split(' ')[1] # argu = 'user1'
if command not in commmandList:
raise Exception("command not support")
if command == 'ban': # ban command, or using switch
# check if admin
if botuser not in adminList:
raise Exception("I'm sorry, " + botuser + ", This command is restricted to admins only.")
# admin, able to ban
irc.send('PRIVMSG' + channel + ' :' + '.ban ' + argu)
then call this function in your while loop to handle all message you get
try:
commmanHandler(botuser, botmsg)
except Exception, e:
print e
irc.send('PRIVMSG' + channel + ' :' + e)
here would be my solution, and also, don't forget to give the bot moderator privilege.

Python Run Two Codes At Once

not sure if the title makes sense, but is there a simple way for 2 'lines' to be run simultaneously? (Quotation marks used as I'm not sure how to put it)
Anyway, what I am trying to do right now is make a Skype bot with Skype4Py.
I am making a script that does stuff, as the below script suggests. But I am faced with a problem. One part of the script detects command spamming, but I want to make some type of timer that would remove the user from its spam check database after a while. (Did that make sense?). In other words, let's say that the spam tolerance is spamming 6 times. After a user enters a command (eg. !help) maybe 5 times, and stops, for let's say 3 minutes, and does it again 5 times, he won't be banned from using commands.
Currently with this code, if a user, at any time (eg. 3 commands at 4:00pm, 2 command at 4:03pm), the user would be banned, but I don't want that to work like that.

I was going to put some sort of code like this:
(with time already imported)
timer=180
while timer >0:
time.sleep(1)
timer -=1
But I don't know where to place it, or how
Any type of help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: Changed last line to:
timer=16
while timer >0:
time.sleep(1)
timer -=1
if timer == 12:
ccheck = bcheck
ccheck.reverse()
dcheck = len(ccheck)
while dcheck !=0:
for x in ccheck:
if x == ccheck[0]:
bcheck.remove(x)
ccheck = []
#raw_input('');

http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html
os.fork might be of use
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
print("I am the child!")
else:
print("I am the parent!")
The child and parent should run at the same time as they are now 2 different processes.

When you are checking whether you should ban the user, you can check the time of the last post and reset the count if it is past a certain time. You will know better then I how to do this in your code. You shouldn't need any kind of concurrency to do what you want.

Asynchronous data through Bloomberg's new data API (COM v3) with Python?

Does anyone know how to get asynchronous data through Bloomberg's new data API (COM v3) with Python? I found this code below on wilmott.com and it works just fine, but it's for the old API version.
Does anyone know the corresponding code for the new version?
from win32com.client import DispatchWithEvents
from pythoncom import PumpWaitingMessages, Empty, Missing
from time import time
class BBCommEvent:
def OnData(self, Security, cookie, Fields, Data, Status):
print 'OnData: ' + `Data`
def OnStatus(self, Status, SubStatus, StatusDescription):
print 'OnStatus'
class TestAsync:
def __init__(self):
clsid = '{F2303261-4969-11D1-B305-00805F815CBF}'
progid = 'Bloomberg.Data.1'
print 'connecting to BBComm'
blp = DispatchWithEvents(clsid, BBCommEvent)
blp.AutoRelease = False
blp.Subscribe('EUR Curncy', 1, 'LAST_PRICE', Results = Empty)
blp.Flush()
end_time = time() + 5
while 1:
PumpWaitingMessages()
if end_time < time():
print 'timed out'
break
if __name__ == "__main__":
ta = TestAsync()

I finally figured it out. I did a fair bit of combrowse.py detective work, and I compared with the JAVA, C, C++, and .NET examples in the BBG API download. Interestingly enough the Bloomberg Helpdesk people knew pretty much null when it came to these things, or perhaps I was just talking to the wrong person.
Here is my code.
asynchronousHandler.py:
import win32com.client
from pythoncom import PumpWaitingMessages
from time import time, strftime

class EventHandler:
def OnProcessEvent(self, result):
event = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch(result)
if event.EventType == constants.SUBSCRIPTION_DATA:
self.getData(event)
elif event.EventType == constants.SUBSCRIPTION_STATUS:
self.getStatus(event)
else:
self.getMisc(event)
def getData(self, event):
iterator = event.CreateMessageIterator()
while iterator.Next():
message = iterator.Message
dataString = ''
for fieldIndex, field in enumerate(constants.fields):
if message.AsElement.HasElement(field):
element = message.GetElement(field)
if element.IsNull:
theValue = ''
else:
theValue = ', Value: ' + str(element.Value)
dataString = dataString + ', (Type: ' + element.Name + theValue + ')'
print strftime('%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S') + ', MessageType: ' + message.MessageTypeAsString + ', CorrelationId: ' + str(message.CorrelationId) + dataString
def getMisc(self, event):
iterator = event.CreateMessageIterator()
while iterator.Next():
message = iterator.Message
print strftime('%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S') + ', MessageType: ' + message.MessageTypeAsString
def getStatus(self, event):
iterator = event.CreateMessageIterator()
while iterator.Next():
message = iterator.Message
if message.AsElement.HasElement('reason'):
element = message.AsElement.GetElement('reason')
print strftime('%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S') + ', MessageType: ' + message.MessageTypeAsString + ', CorrelationId: ' + str(message.CorrelationId) + ', Category: ' + element.GetElement('category').Value + ', Description: ' + element.GetElement('description').Value
if message.AsElement.HasElement('exceptions'):
element = message.AsElement.GetElement('exceptions')
exceptionString = ''
for n in range(element.NumValues):
exceptionInfo = element.GetValue(n)
fieldId = exceptionInfo.GetElement('fieldId')
reason = exceptionInfo.GetElement('reason')
exceptionString = exceptionString + ', (Field: ' + fieldId.Value + ', Category: ' + reason.GetElement('category').Value + ', Description: ' + reason.GetElement('description').Value + ') '

For it to work you need to install Bloomberg Desktop v3 API SDK, I did that, restarted my machine, seems to work. Without the restart it just crashed.
If you use Com explorer, you will see the bloomberg elements are now present
