Portland iPhone 7+ Scraper with Slack

A simple scraper that sends a message on Slack when iPhones are available in Portland.

The default channel on Slack I used was #technology, but feel free to change that.

I put the iphone.txt template in a templates directory, too.

iphone.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
Are there new iPhones available in Portland?
