@hazardwarning Oh, it works but it's really not usable in any meaningful way.
- I can post - the easy bit. There's not a lot of difference between @matigo's example and my thing; it was straightforward enough moving from the bash stuff to Python.
- I can view my mentions - but it's simply me extracting stuff from the pages of 'raw' data returned by the API. I've got to parse it myself rather than have software do it.
- I can reply to a post - but I need the post number to which I'm replying. Again I've got to go through the data returned by the API to find post numbers.
But it is a start. :)
