"""
This file is only the "core" of the bot. It is responsible for loading the
plugins module and initializing it. You may obtain the plugins by running:

    git clone https://github.com/Lonami/TelethonianBotExt plugins

In the same folder where this file lives. As a result, the directory should
look like the following:

    assistant.py
    plugins/
        ...
