+Configuration for the DeletedPosts bot.
+
+This module exposes a single dictionary called ``config`` which holds all
+of the parameters required to connect to Reddit and control the behaviour of
+the bot.  When you first run the program the file will be created for you
+with empty values; you should edit it before starting the bot.  You can also
+reset the file to defaults by running the application with the
+``reset_config`` command-line argument.
+
+Example usage::
+
+    from config import config
+    print(config['client_id'])
+
