This is a sample Python-language application intended to demonstrate connecting to Reddit via the [PRAW] library.

What you'll need to to start

----------------------------

* Download and install [Python], if you haven't already.

* Install the [PRAW] library (You may be able to do this with the administrator command ```pip install praw```).

* [Create a "script" app on Reddit] (The "redirect uri" field can be ```http://localhost```).

* Modify the ```nutroll``` file to include your Reddit app credentials:

```python

return praw.Reddit(

  client_id='mHJAei1MCbztxw',

  client_secret='G74uVCX9K5MnyBcNhDFwpwqVZtY',

  #...

)

```

Where the ```client_id``` and ```client_secret``` are obtained from your Reddit app settings.

Example of running the ```nutroll``` application:

----------------------------------------------------

* Success:

```

$ ./nutroll your_reddit_username

Scanning for nut rolls (this may take several seconds)...

Nut roll detected: https://www.reddit.com/comments/6alu1h

```

* Failure:

```

$ ./nutroll your_reddit_username

Scanning for nut rolls (this may take several seconds)...

No nut rolls this week.

```

* PEBKAC:

```

$ ./nutroll your_reddit_username

Scanning for nut rolls (this may take several seconds)...

Unable to reach Reddit. Did you setup your credentials properly?

```
