Learn Python with Pj! Part 5 - Build a hashtag tracker with the Twitter API

In the final part of the "Learn Python with Pj!" series, the author describes their journey in learning Python through Codecademy and applying the skills to develop a bot using the Twitter API. Having experience with the API in Node.js, they decided to create a Python-based bot that tracks real-time hashtag usage on Twitter. The process involved using the Tweepy library to interact with Twitter's API, employing a configuration file to manage authentication keys securely, and leveraging environmental variables to protect sensitive information. The project, detailed in a file named live_tweets.py, employs a class called LogTweets to filter and display tweets containing specific hashtags. The author emphasizes the importance of documenting and sharing their learning experience, which has not only reinforced their knowledge but also potentially aided others in understanding Python.
