Credits

Most of the credit for this project should go to https://github.com/phillipsm who wrote the scripts for the favicon downloading as part of https://github.com/phillipsm/pyfav.

At the time of writing this the project was nonfunctional out of the box (at least on python 3.6 on Arch), so I copied the core methods that I needed and put them into pyfav_utils.py
