cookietemple VS PRAW

For structure, project setup and getting an idea of how to "style" a project by following best practices, you could take a look at https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple. (Disclaimer: I'm one of its authors).

It really depends on how you plan to use your projects: Is it for personal use only? Do you want to use it as a cli application or a standalone package or just some loose script collection? If you want to get an idea of how to structure bigger projects, I recommend you to take a look at https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple. (Disclaimer: I'm one of its developers). The cli-python template there should give you a good idea of how a project could actually look like.

In 2020, we did the first release of cookietemple (PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/cookietemple/, GitHub: https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple).

The c++ template of https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple might be useful to you.

If you're willing to write a cookiecutter version it would be awesome to have it in https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple

You could create a project with https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple and attempt to understand the structure.

Hey, the post was a nice read ;). As you mentioned cookiecutter, you might also want to take a look at cookietemple (Disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of this project). It is basically designed exactly for this purpose: Setup a modern (python) project with everything needed to start developing in seconds with as much automating of this process as possible.

Cookiecutter is an amazing tool for templating! This could have aided you a lot. I suggest that you check out https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple for a Python templates which goes a lot of steps beyond yours for some inspiration. You can always contribute ;)

And if you are looking for an excellent template (collection) you guys should look at https://github.com/cookiejar/cookietemple

I'm... not sure I understand the question? PRAW still works just fine for "personal use" of the reddit API.

Thank you for pointing out. So there is no need then for the access token? Only with the refresh token is enough? To be honest I took a look at it but I did not expect that to be under authentication as strictly speaking, the user already made the authentication. Also I took a look at the code at https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/master/praw/reddit.py and I did not get a hint whether was possible to pass it or not. I am just saying this to let you know I tried to search for the answer before asking. Again thank you for the help.

To get the relevant IDs, you can use something like PRAW to query the subreddit for the top 1000 posts for example.

Huge thanks to the contributors to PRAW, which is the Python package that does all the heavy lifting relating to Reddit's API that I need for this script.

However, in practice duplicate items were yielded with these smaller numbers. So I increased the limit briefly to 250 in October 2016, and then increased it finally to 301 in December 2016 in order to resolve https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/issues/673. That issue provides an explanation for how 301 came to be.

Why? You gotta be ready for any status code. Even 777.
