skip some user followers with tweepy

I am using Python Tweepy to get followers of a twitter user and storing it in my db. Following is my code snippet:



for follower in tweepy.Cursor(api.followers, screen_name=twitter_user, skip_status=True, count=200).items():

    follower = follower._json

    db.store(follower)


After a couple of weeks I want to update the twitter_user and fetch it's followers again. Is there any way that I can only get those followers which I do not already have stored in my db? Can I provide a list of follower ids to skip or something like that? Some twitter users have followers in millions so getting all the followers again on every update can be very costly.
I would appreciate any help






python twitter tweepy

          How to test boost logger output in unit testing?

          Image
          up vote 1 down vote favorite My application uses BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL to log messages. I thought it's good to check in test (gtest) that correct messages are written there in given scenarios. Is there a way to somehow access what was written there after code was called? Or does it first have to be mocked in some way? I have googled a lot for this and haven't found any instructions, so either I am asking wrong questions or no one thinks it should be done. c++ logging boost googletest boost-log share | improve this question edited yesterday ...

          Write to the output between two pipeline

          up vote 1 down vote favorite I'm trying to write to the output (echo) within two pipe to have a trace of what I'm doing but I have an error. Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -match '.+?.log.(d{4})-(d{2})-(d{2})$' -and $_.LastWriteTime -lt $deleteDate } | Write-Output "deleting file" -PassThru | Remove-Item but I have this error : Write-Output : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of the parameters that take pipeline input.
