update readme and gitignore to account for virtualenv and settings.ini #9

I updated the readme to contain instructions for setting up a virtualenv.

I also added the virtualenv folder and settings.ini to the .gitignore.

Are you sure python 3 works?

EMCain commented 7 years ago

No. How would I test it? Is the only way to set up a Slack API token and send a test message to an existing channel?

EMCain commented 7 years ago

Also--should it be changed to Python 2? Do you know what version it was written in?

shimpossible commented 7 years ago

I dont know what it was written for. I'm using python 2.7 and it works. It was just a lucky guess..

You can set slack channel to your name SLACK_CHANNEL=shimpossible

and it will post messages to you. You have to already have the chat open with the person though. And since everyone has a chat open with themselves this should work.
