gollark: https://github.com/osmarks/autobotrobot/pull/1 is a PRETTY apioformic PR.
gollark: If you dislike my code structure then make a GOOD PR.
gollark: But I split imports into "other people's" and "part of the bot" and then order loosely by time.
gollark: I consider PEP8 18924718924619248912412741294174716471241724819246816248192471120491204912894 apioforms.
gollark: Apart from ridiculous nitpicking about formatting, my code *is* perfect and wondrous.
