A modified version of ChatExchange for use with Source.Python. To install, retrieve ChatExchange's normal dependencies (see below for the original readme) as source tarballs, and extract the modules (not everything in the tarball, just where the code is) into <mod folder>/addons/source-python/Python3. Then place chatexchange in there as well.
A Python2 and Python3 cross-version API for talking to Stack Exchange chat.
- Supported Python versions (Travis-CI build passes):
 2.6 2.7 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.5-dev 3.6-dev (nightly)
- Unclear versions (Travis-CI build fails because of the packages we use for our Travis-CI tests):
 Those Python versions are always built by Travis-CI, but the result is ignored in the summary.
 3.2 because of packagepytest
Make sure you use either pip2 or pip3 depending on which Python version you want to run this on.
