This bot was inspired by my favorite Abraham Lincoln quote, and of course, on trippin' through time style humor. I hope it does not disrupt the regular course of discussion on Reddit.

So here's a little summary of what the bot does:

• starts by fetching the forbidden subreddits from a file
• then it fetches the latest comments from /all
• it matches it against the regex (which aims for medium-sized non-nested quotes)
• also it checks whether the subreddit the comment comes from has banned the bot
• if it matches, isn't banned, and the comment hasn't been replied to yet:
  • the comment is added to the list
  • build_image is called (see below) with the match and the comment's id
  • the comment is replied to

the image is built in the following way:

• after being called, it creates an empty image
• it then selects a random image + signature combo from the archive
• based on the image's dimensions it calculates the offset so they are centered (they were prepared beforehand to always fit in the spot)
• the image is pasted together with the signature
• then a font is selected for the quote TODO: make sure this font is the same one as the one in the signatures.
• a draw object is created and used to write the quote. textwrap is used to ensure the lines fit inside their spot.
• all is wrapped up, and the image is saved temporarily, uploaded to imgur, and then the function returns the url of the image.

I included a script to automate the reduction of images and the generation of signatures. to use it, run it in the terminal, and when prompted:

• type 'sigs' to generate again the signatures from the file.
• type 'addpic' and input the directory of the image and the name of the person to add them.
• type 'removepic' and the name to remove their names and pictures from the list.
