memeBot.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
# Version: 3.6
# Author: David Moore
# Description: This program will go to the iFunny website and post the first 100 memes into a discord text channel unless given a different number.
# this functionality was embedded from a program I called "loopMemes", and can work by itself.

# THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT REGISTERING A BOT ON THE DISCORD WEBSITE, AND ENTERING A TOKEN VALUE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCRIPT. (VERY LAST LINE)

# Commands: "!getMeme 10" will get only the first 10 memes from the iFunny featured websiteself.
# "!getMeme" will grab the first 100 memes from the iFunny featured page.
# "!stop" will logout the bot even during a task. (This was incase someone said !getMeme 9999999, and we wanted an emergency stop)
