NAME
RSSBOT - feed rss into your channel
DESCRIPTION
RSSBOT is a python3 bot able to display rss feeds in your channel.
It provides all the tools to program a bot, such as disk perisistence
for configuration files, event handler to handle the client/server
connection, code to introspect modules for commands, deferred
exception handling to not crash on an error, a parser to parse
commandline options and values, etc.
You can copy/paste the service file and run it under systemd for
24/7 presence in a IRC channel.
