Identi.ca feed fetcher script

Here is a simple Identi.ca feed fetcher script written in python. It is a console program and has no gui. It will display the same content as would appear on a users Identi.ca homepage for a given user. Edit the configuration at the head of the script before use.

It works well with conky; simply add ${exec python /path/to/script.py} to your conky file and it will update whenever your conky refreshes. If your conky config is set to update very frequently, please use ${execi interval /path/to/script.py} so that you are not constantly polling identi.ca's server.

Edit: Updated script to correctly encode text and to include replies.
