Currently the database connection credentials need to be edited into the script itself. This is fine for now but it's obviously not ideal for long term use that includes script updates.

At the minimum, command line parameters could be used but a config file (just a simple .ini) would be best. Both should be supported ideally.

As a step toward this, I intend to convert the module to an installable program. That is, instead of pointing directly to the Python module, there'd be a build and install system, to put in place an executable 'auth-mastodon' program.

Does that sound right?
