Star_added event does not work.

I tried listening for star_added events, but when I star a message within Slack, the intended debug message doesn't get printed out.

from slackclient import SlackClient

class LikeBot(SlackClient):

    # Create bot instance
    def __init__(self, token):
        SlackClient.__init__(self, token)
        self.connect_rtm()
        self.server.join_channel('#bot-test')


    # Connect to Slack's RTM API
    def connect_rtm(self):
        print 'Likebot connecting to RTM API...' #DEBUG
        if self.rtm_connect():
            print 'Likebot connected!' #DEBUG
        else:
            print 'Likebot failed to connect!' #DEBUG


    # Begin listening for JSON formatted RTM API messages/events
    def listen(self):
        print 'Likebot Listening...' #DEBUG
        while True:
            for event in self.rtm_read():
                # do something with RTM API event
                print event # DEBUG; Fails to print a `star_added` event
                if event.get('type') == 'star_added':
                    print True


if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot = LikeBot('foo_token')
    bot.listen()

In order to receive star_added events, you'd need to connect with a token that has client scope, and you'd only be able to receive star actions for the user that token is associated with.

[{u'event_ts': u'1481855082.395964', u'item': {u'message': {u'permalink': u'...', u'text': u'ahoy', u'ts': u'1481855074.000005', u'user': u'U2X9HJWG6', u'is_starred': True, u'type': u'message'}, u'type': u'message', u'channel': u'...'}, u'type': u'star_added', u'user': u'...'}]

You may want to consider using the Events API, instead, as you'll have more granular control over what events you receive and the authenticating user will have a better idea what your app has access to.. You can see an example Flask app that @karishay put together here: https://github.com/slackapi/Slack-Python-Onboarding-Tutorial

Thanks @Roach. Just seeing this.
