Tested in Python 2.7.6

To install the required dependencies from PyPI, run pip install -r requirements.txt from the command line. This will install the praw, pyimgur, beautifulsoup4, wikipedia modules.

Configuration

First, with your bot account, create 3 comments where they will not be removed by someone.

  1. comment with banned users list separated by single newline
  2. comment with excluded subreddits (without /r/) list separated by single newline
  3. comment with list of subreddits where bot will only reply to top level (root) comments
  4. comment with a number indicating total number of posts made by bot. Set 0 at first setup.

Second, You need to create a file called datafile.inf and have following data in it on separate lines:

  • reddit bot username
  • reddit bot account password
  • imgur client id
  • ID of comment with banned users list
  • ID of comment with excluded subreddits
  • ID of comment with root only subreddits
  • ID of comment with a number of total number of posts

The file will look something like this:
