# credits to Anarov for improved example
from __future__ import print_function
import basc_py4chan

# get the board we want
board = basc_py4chan.Board('v')

# select the first thread on the board
all_thread_ids = board.get_all_thread_ids()
first_thread_id = all_thread_ids[0]
thread = board.get_thread(first_thread_id)

# print thread information
print(thread)
print('Sticky?', thread.sticky)
print('Closed?', thread.closed)
print('Replies:', len(thread.replies))

# print topic post information
topic = thread.topic
print('Topic Repr', topic)
print('Postnumber', topic.post_number)

print('Datetime', repr(topic.datetime))
print('Filemd5hex', topic.file_md5_hex)
