Send regular reminders based on assigned action item in google docs

Quick and dirty script to send email reminders about assigned items in GDocs.

• Create a google app at https://console.developers.google.com
• Download your client ID and client Secret (oauth, json file) and save it as credentials.json in the same directory.
• In a pipenv or virtualenv, install the requirements and launch:

pip install -r requirements
python ./reminder.py

• Authorize your application. It should ask you to allow "View metadata for files in your Google Drive"
• Once authorized, a token.json file will be created. If you remove that file, you will have to re-authz the application.
