Script is running now. It has a 1.5 second delay between calls to be
nice to twitter (hope that is enough). Already down about 2,000
people.
using the twyt python library (with some modifications to support the
new social graph api) and simplejson.
-------
from twyt.twitter import Twitter
import simplejson
import time
t = Twitter()
t.set_auth("loic","xxxx")
b = simplejson.loads(t.user_friends_graph())
for i in range(len(b)):
try:
t.friendship_destroy(b[i])
print "%s - unfriending %s" % (i,b[i])
except Exception:
#TODO: INSERT ASCII FAIL WHALE
print "<insert ascii fail whale here!>"
time.sleep(1.5)
-------
Thanks a ton!
