Gary needs the following dependencies installed:
- urllib2
- PRAW
- google-api-python-client
Gary uses eval() to determine the correct response from the keyword. For this reason, keep the responses to the dictionary list.
Put the Reddit username and password into config_vegbot.py along with the Google API key, Custom Search Engine ID, and Reddit client ID and secret.
If Gary is down and you decide to run the bot yourself, then remove the query counter code or install the counter_update.php script on your own server and update the query code accordingly. I've redacted the actual link.
