Question

I have a variable:

user = "jobrr"

And I want to loop the following but change what the variables represent after each loop cycle (so in the loop predefine what the variable for the coming loop will be)

example loop as long as y = true
    openurl = urllib.urlopen("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&contributor_details&include_rts=true&screen_name="+user+"&count=3600")
    user = user + "a" #just for example

how can I do this?

Answer 1

user = 'username'
y = True

while y:
    openurl = urllib.urlopen("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?include_entities=true&contributor_details&include_rts=true&screen_name="+user+"&count=3600")
    user += "a"
    #You have to do something in here to change y or this will be an infinite loop
