Run this script carefully!

This script will remove all potential bot followers from your twitter account. The bot detection function
is very basic mainly for inspiration, but feel free to enhance it or use 3rd party tools. 
The current method for detecting bots is based on language, description and total followers.
The bot will block user one by one and then unblock them. 
If you are following your followers, you won't be subscribed to them anymore once you run this job.

- Install tweepy module using pip. To install tweepy run below command in your terminal.
sudo pip install tweepy
- (optional) Install google translater using pip. To install run sudo pip install googletrans

Please replace consumer_key and consumer_secret. Visit https://apps.twitter.com to get your consumer_key and
consumer_secret.
Once you generate consumer key create an access token from same twitter page. Replace access_token and
access_token_secret with provided values. Then run the script.
