Hello everyone! Im new here and im also new to python. Im eager to learn python because the possibilities are immense. Currently im working on a twitter streaming code, which I pasted in the code section below.
Im wondering how I should exclude data from the streamer?
1. For instance, i want to check wether the 'status' or 'location' fields are not null.
2. I would like to exclude some fields. For instance, 'retweets'.
If someone could explain how I'm supposed to program [1] en [2] then I would be very happy :)
