IoT at dweet.io, Python on RPi 2 to send data to Cloud

This example modify from my previous example of "Display Raspberry Pi CPU temperature graphically, using Python 2 with Matplotlib", add the function to send the temperature to cloud, dweet.io.

---

dweet.io doesn't require any setup or sign-up— just publish and go.

dweet.io is simple publishing and subscribing for machines, sensors, devices, robots, and gadgets (we just call them things). We call published messages ‘dweets’. It’s helpful to think of dweet.io as a Twitter for things, in fact.

This example code run on Python 2, Raspberry Pi 2/Raspbian, get CPU temperature, plot the graph on local screen, and send to dweet.io, with API like this:
https://dweet.io/dweet/for/helloRaspberryPi_RPi2_vcgencmd?measure_temp=xx.x

Where helloRaspberryPi_RPi2_vcgencmd is my-thing-name. To view my thing online, visit:

Please notice that it is just a trial experience, not a completed example.
