/ Published in: Python
Save to your folder(s)

  7. submission.replace_more_comments(limit=30, threshold=10)
  8. flat_comments = praw.helpers.flatten_tree(submission.comments)

  13.         f.write(comment.body + '\n' + '+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+' + '\n')
