A simple IRC bot that connects to Reddit and provides a few tools for subreddit moderators

- prawoauth2 for oauth handling: http://prawoauth2.readthedocs.org/installation.html
This bot needs to connect to a Reddit account that has mod access to a sub. Ideally, you should make a seperate mod account as one function of this bot is to send modmail via IRC, and it could be confusing to have modmail sent through your primary account on behalf of others.
-
First step is to create an app on Reddit and get both the application key and the secret key. In order to do this, follow step 1 of this guide: http://prawoauth2.readthedocs.org/usage_guide.html#running-prawoauth2server
-
Run setup.py from the command line, and input both the APP Key and the APP Secret you got from step 1 when prompted. This will give you your access token and refresh token.
-
Now just open settings.py and fill in the requeistte details
-
Run main.py and you are good to go.
