TextStat

Tweets are loaded into a list and analysed using the python package TextStat 0.3.1. All textstat stat values are averaged to determine a final score, which is used in the posted message. Due to textstat text grading relying on sentence length, twitter may receive an artificially lower score from the imposed character limit per tweet. This is mitigated by using a relative average tweet grade from other peer to the target tweeter.
