# pymotd

A python Message of the Day script. Configure it through the parameters passed

to the get_motd function in the `if __name__ == '__main__'` section at the end of

the file, or, if you are so inclined, by importing this file and calling the

get_motd function yourself. 

In this default configuration, it prints a message similar to this:

```

I surely do hope that's a syntax error.

```

The Arch ASCII image is not hardcoded, but is rather loaded from ~/.motd_image

(this can be changed). More messages can also be added and the fortune message

at the top can be swapped out for something else or removed entirely.

* termcolor
