ChatExchange

A Python API for talking to Stack Exchange chat.

Dependencies

• BeautifulSoup (pip install beautifulsoup4)
• Requests (pip install requests). Usually there by default. Please upgrade it with pip install requests --upgrade
  Note that Ubuntu comes with an old version of pip that is not compatible any more with the latest version of requests. It will be broken after you installed requests, except if you update it before (or afterwards) with easy_install pip.
• python-websockets for the experimental websocket listener (pip install websocket-client). This module is optional, without it initSocket() from SEChatBrowser will not work

3. make run-example will run the example script
