Welcome to Part 12 of the Python Programming tutorial series here on Tutorial Spot.

In Part 12 I took inspiration from an article I saw online showing how a programmer had managed to win quite a few competitions using a Python script to automatically enter him into competitions on Twitter.
I took the premise that we access the API from Twitter and simply search for tweets containing a certain keyword and then retweet the tweets found to contain that very keyword, or keywords!

You will need to create a Twitter App and install Tweepy before using the code.

Python 3.6.4 was used to make this tutorial.
