INFO.md

Named INFO.md because if it was README.md github gists has a bug that changes the title name of the gist to README.md

Recommended usage is as follows:

Place the Microsoft Office(xlsx) (not Microsoft Office Legacy(xls), those don't work as well or may not at all, don't know) and this script in the same folder. If you have an OAuth2Util oauth.ini, put that in here to. The script will attempt to use OAuth if it can, else it will default to the username ad password arguments, if possible, else raise an error.

To run, either:

Open python3 in a terminal, depending on the OS it's either python3 or py -3. Type

>>> from modapplicationposter import run
>>> run('nameofworkbookwithoutxlsx', 'columnletterforusernamesifapplicable',
... subreddit='subreddityouarepostingtowithout/r/' **kw)

You can also do this in a terminal/cmd:

python3 -c "from modapplicationposter import run; run('nameofworkbookwithoutxlsx', 'columnletterforusernamesifapplicable', subreddit='subreddityouarepostingtowithout/r/' **kw)"

Note: Like above, you may need to replace python3 with py -3

**kw are any of the other params as mentioned by the docstring in modapplicationposter.py.

    Main instance

    The user that is OAuthed or LoginAuthed must be an approved contributor to the sub to post apps
    and must be an approved submitter to the sub. Just making it a mod won't work.

    :param usernamecolletter: the letter of the column that denotes the applicant's username.
    If not specified, it will make the title have the timestamp instead of the user's name. This
    script assumes that the timestamp row is the first row, so it uses appropiate grammar to comply.
    :param notifyme: whether or not to send inbox replies to the account that is making the posts. default is False.
    :param subreddit: the sub to post to (string or praw.objects.Subreddit object). While it is a
    keyword argument, that's only cause technicalities. IT IS REQUIRED.
    :param useragent: optional useragent to specify. The default is
    'Mod application to subreddit poster posting to /r/{subreddit} by /u/13steinj'
    :params username, password: A username and password to specify if you wish to use LoginAuth.
    If OAuth is available, OAuth will have priority. If it fails, login auth will be used.
    IN PRAW4 LOGIN AUTH WILL BE DEPRECATED, JUST AS A REMINDER IN CASE YOU SAY THIS SCRIPT DOESN'T WORK WHEN IT'S OUT
    
    :returns: The amount of posts made and the sub they were made to.

Quick question: How hard would it be to make it leave out the 'badword' keyword from the table if it returns zero results?

I just ran one with a long list of words and the table is a bazillion lines long. Haha.

If you get bored and want to mess with this, I just used this again and had a couple of suggestions.

In this section, it would be really useful to have the age of the account in Years, Months, Days format.

It would also be helpful to sort the table buy quantity of bad words, and the following table by the quantity of posts/comments.
