ABOUT
-----

Polly is a Linux Twitter client designed for multiple columns of multiple accounts.


PREREQUISITES
-------------

This application requires Python 2.7 and the following modules:

python-gtk2
python-dbus
python-xdg
python-notify
python-oauth2
python-gconf
python-socksipy
python-httplib2
python-pycurl
python-numpy
python-keyring
python-gtkspell
python-indicate

In a vanilla Ubuntu 11.04, they are all already installed except
for python-oauth2, python-socksipy and python-numpy. The module
python-indicate is optional if you don't use the Messaging Menu.

Currently, python-keyring supports GNOME-Keyring and KWallet. If
you have neither of them installed, it uses a fallback keyring
that requires you to start Polly from a terminal. It should be
noted that installing GNOME-Keyring does not pull a dependency
set particularly larger than the dependency set of Polly itself.


INSTALL
-------

From inside the top folder, execute the following command as admin:

$ ./install

----------

--compose: start the application with the compose box opened.
