March Madness Entry 10

A common theme, to be sure. I'll leave it at that. But when you throw a dying router into the mix with five laptops on it, and suddenly testing your IRC bot becomes a slow, arduous, and sometimes fruitless task. Tonight's code? A rehash of last nights with an added twist.

import twitter
import urllib
from getpass import getpass

def isitgoingtorain():
    answerPage =  urllib.urlopen("http://www.goingtorain.com")

    while answerPage.readline().find("<div id=\"answer\">") is -1:
        pass

    tmpLine = answerPage.readline()

    if tmpLine.find("yes") is not -1:
        return "yes."
    elif tmpLine.find("no") is not -1:
        return "no."
    else:
        return "FAILED"

def createApp(username, password):
    twitterSystem = twitter.Api(username, password)
    return twitterSystem

user = raw_input("Enter your username - ")
pword = getpass("Enter your password - ")

twitterSystem = createApp(user, pword)

tmp = isitgoingtorain()

if tmp is not "FAILED":
    print "Posting..."
    twitterSystem.PostUpdate("APERTURE SCIENCE AUTOMATIC FUTURE RAIN STATUS PREDICTION SCRIPT RESULT: " + tmp)
else:
    print "Failed... could not get rain update."
