from pprint import pprint

#Pretty prints all submission dicts.
pprint(submissions(user='spez', log=True))

import redditsfinder
from pprint import pprint

'''

def byKey(posts, postKey=''):
    return [v for dict in posts  for k, v in dict.items() if k == postKey]

user = 'spez'
lim = 5

comments = redditsfinder.comments(lim=lim, user=user)
submissions = redditsfinder.submissions(lim=lim, user=user)

textPosts = {
    'bodies': byKey(comments, postKey='body'),
    'selftexts': byKey(submissions, postKey='selftext')
    }

pprint(textPosts)
