Hello everybody,

I have the following problem: For a research project I have to create a network map of of a list of twitter accounts. In order to do so I have to identify whether the accounts follow each other or whether one account follows another account but not the other way around. Since I have a fixed list of accounts (around 30 accounts), I do not want to have a list of all the other followers of the respective account but simply want to find out whether accounts on the list follow each other. Is there an easy way to perform this task with Python? I am very new to python and do not have a programming background, so I would be thankful for any possible starting points Smile .

Thank you so much!

It looks like they have an API and even that someone wrote a Python wrapper for it.
Great, thanks so much!
