When aprslib is not configured I throw this error:

ERROR:aprslib.inet.IS:Failed to login
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "aprs2influxdb/main.py", line 247, in <module>

aprslib.exceptions.LoginError: Failed to login

Just fixed this exception (loginerror) with a try/except statement

Largely fixed by #11 though I'm not sure it's even useful to have a configuration file. Might be best to just do all by command line!
