I'm being followed by an army of spammy Python accounts on Twitter. What's going on?

Over the last few days a number of suspicious looking accounts have started to follow me on twitter. They all pretend to be some sort of generic Python related account. Yet they all have more or less the same bio and all tweets link to very suspicious websites.

I've blocked and reported all of them, but more and more are coming and I'm seeing legitimate Python accounts following some of them, probably without double checking.

Did anyone else notice this? Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? Should I report this to twitter and if yes how?

Here's a list of the accounts I've seen so far if someone want's to check them out. **Be careful with clicking any of the links in their tweets and bio!**

I used Python to turn my guitar into a computer keyboard... and wrote "hello world" using it.

This is a small Python application that converts MIDI messages into computer keystrokes. It's completely pointless but fun!

It uses two libraries: mido for reading MIDI messages, and keyboard for performing the keystrokes.

Here's a video I made demonstrating it in action: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rbp83fJTkg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rbp83fJTkg)

I've only tested that this works on Windows...

I used LoopMIDI to create virtual MIDI ports, and a VST plugin called Migic to convert the audio signal from my guitar into MIDI messages. These messages are then routed to LoopMIDI, which pipes the messages to this application.

All You Need to Know about WSGI

Hi!

Here is a [screencast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UklcIDgHtwQ) \- Titled All You Need to Know about WSGI. It is my informal way of explaining what is WSGI. This screencast used to be paid, but I will release all PRO lessons for free, since I am busy with my main project - [Papermerge](https://www.papermerge.com) (<- Django based free and open source document management system).

Thank you Django community for fantastic support, I really love Python, Django and your community in general!
