A Python2 and Python3 cross-version API for talking to Stack Exchange chat.

• Supported Python versions (Travis-CI build passes):
  2.6 2.7 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.5-dev
• Unclear versions (Travis-CI build fails because of the packages we use for our Travis-CI tests):
  Those Python versions are always built by Travis-CI, but the result is ignored in the summary.
  3.6-dev (nightly) because of package coverage (see link)

Make sure you use either pip2 or pip3 depending on which Python version you want to run this on.

• BeautifulSoup (pip install beautifulsoup4)
• Requests (pip install requests). Usually there by default. Please upgrade it with pip install requests --upgrade
  Note that Ubuntu comes with an old version of pip that is not compatible any more with the latest version of requests. It will be broken after you installed requests, except if you update it before (or afterwards) with easy_install pip or pip install --upgrade pip (that one works only before).
• python-websockets for the experimental websocket listener (pip install websocket-client). This module is optional, without it initSocket() from SEChatBrowser will not work

1. make install-dependencies will install the necessary Python package dependencies into your current environment (active virtualenv or system site packages)
2. make test will run the tests
3. make run-example will run the example script
4. make will run the above three in order
