# Discord Bots

Lots of Python bots for [Discord](https://discordapp.com/)

## [`wrapper.py`](wrapper.py)

The wrapper code provides some common functionality for the most common type of

bot which runs commands. It uses the following environment variables:

- `BOT_CONFIG` (default `"config.ini"`): The config file for looking up secrets

- `BOT_PREFIX` (default `"!"`): The command prefix

- `BOT_TOKEN`: Overrides the first argument to `wrapper.run`

`wrapper.run` finds the appropriate token and runs the bot. Before running, it

will try to use the token as a key in the config file section `Tokens`. For

example, if the config file looks like:

```ini

[Tokens]

    my_bot=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

```

Then the following are all equivalent:

```bash

BOT_TOKEN=XX...X python -c 'import wrapper; wrapper.run()' # Token in env

BOT_TOKEN=my_bot python -c 'import wrapper; wrapper.run()' # Key in env

python -c 'import wrapper; wrapper.run("XX...X")'          # Token in run()

python -c 'import wrapper; wrapper.run("my_bot")'          # Key in run()

```

You can verify this by seeing your bot come online.
