"""
EarwigBot's XML Config File Parser

This handles all tasks involving reading and writing to our config file,
including encrypting and decrypting passwords and making a new config file from
scratch at the inital bot run.

Usually you'll just want to do "from core import config" and access config data
from within config's five global variables:

* config.components
* config.wiki
* config.irc
* config.schedule
* config.watcher
