This bot uses the python library `howdoi` which is not a
dependency of Zulip. To use this module, you will have to
install it in your local machine. In your terminal, enter
the following command:
$ sudo pip install howdoi --upgrade
Note:
* You might have to use `pip3` if you are using python 3.
* The install command would also download any dependency
required by `howdoi`.

This plugin facilitates searching Stack Overflow for
techanical answers based on the Python library `howdoi`.
To get the best possible answer, only include keywords
in your questions.
There are two possible commands:
* @mention-bot howdowe > This would return the answer to the same
stream that it was called from.
* @mention-bot howdoi > The bot would send a private message to the
user containing the answer.
By default, howdoi only returns the coding section of the
first search result if possible, to see the full answer
from Stack Overflow, append a '!' to the commands.
(ie '@mention-bot howdoi!', '@mention-bot howdowe!')
