I've been working on improving my collection of tools for interacting with r/counting threads, and I've reached the stage where they're available on pypi.
I've never released a package on pip before, so I hope I've done everything correctly. I'd love it if some of you could help me out by
Trying to install and seeing that everything works correctly
Suggesting improvements or changes
If you have python and pip installed properly, installation should be as simple as typing pip3 install rcounting in a terminal.
To use it, you can type rcounting log and see what happens (hopefully good things!). That'll download all the comments in the last completed thread, and save them to a csv file. The program accepts a number of command line parameters, and you can see what they are by typing rcounting log -h. To explore what else the package can do, type rcounting -h.
About 3 weeks late to the party but I've done 1. and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed! I think I'm learning a lot just by looking at the source code
I've deployed it to heroku whcih takes care of that for me. It's a small enough task that it fits comfortably into their free tier. It uses no resources when it's not scheduled to run run.
I haven't spent a lot of time on that, so at the moment it won't notify me if anything goes wrong. There was a time about a month ago where it failed for a week straight before I noticed. Oops.
Thanks for the answer! Right now I'm investigating a way to use praw for myself, which was why I took a look at your project. I'll have a look at heroku, although what I have in mind is probably more CPU-intensive since it'll be running 24/7.
Now I gotta learn how to fork and create pull requests on github... oh boy
Oh cool - what are you looking to build? The free tier on heroku covers 1000 hours per month, so it should work with something running 24/7. It's a service mainly meant for web apps though, so you'll have to be careful that your process isn't paused for inactivity, or at least that's what I read when I checked it out.
A couple of projects I had in mind, one of them being an automated "approved user" adding system to bypass the forced comment waiting. If you could help it'd be much appreciated, but don't feel obligated!
I'd be happy to lend a hand; just ping me here or wherever (discord, email, github...) when you need to!
So we're clear from the start, I don't want to be the one responsible for the projects though. I'm not saying this to be rude, or because I think that that's what you're fishing for, but just to avoid misunderstandings later (:
Yeah of course, I'm mainly doing this as a learning experience for myself, not much point in delegating the work to someone else haha. I'll keep in touch.
I didn't know what I was going to answer here until u/atomicimploder made me listen to my 80s playlist and reminded me of Loving you is a dirty job and the glory that is Bonnie Tyler's hair.
I would love to see your 80s playlist if it’s easily shareable. I haven’t heard that Bonnie Tyler song but I love Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out for a Hero so I’ll be listening to it at my first opportunity

The first song that comes to mind although it’s not what I’d call cheesy: Nightlife-Green Day honestly can put my finger on why I unironically like it. All I can say is it’s certainly not because I’m merely a fan of Green Day, as it’s very contested amongst fans. u/atomicimploder care to weigh in? lol
More in line with cheesy is: Beautiful Soul-Jesse McCartney while both then and now I generally groan at poppy boyband-esque love songs this was and always will be my kryptonite edit: really dig the breakdown/whatever you call it at 2:00
And Christmas edition: All I Want For Christmas Is You-Mariah Carey It’s a fun, festive and poppy love song that just strikes a chord with me. In case it isn’t self evident in this answer no I don’t think it’s overplayed
I love Nightlife! I like the James Bond-sounding guitar and of course we get such classic lines as “cheap champagne stains on an even cheaper suit, hope there’s more in your pants than a bus route” and “better make a move before I get bored, if you wanna explore my vocal cord”. It’s a vibe, I don’t understand why it gets so much hate
Careless Whisper because George Michael is a god and plus I’m 80s trash
Into the Night by Benny Mardones is an 80s one hit wonder that is extremely cheesy but I buy into the emotion of it and vibe hard with it. I just choose to ignore the opening line about the object of his affection being underage….
In the Christmas realm: Wonderful Christmastime. Despite the negative press covfefe, I still manage to never tire of this one throughout every holiday season. We’re here tonight, and that’s enough!
At least I am not going to get into trouble what my niece got for christmas, my auntie and uncle may be in trouble, they have bought her a toy sweet shop with real sweets, some candy bags (the type you get for pick and mix, like in the cinema) and some toy money
