+Description:
+This is a python script to automate what the updating of the amiibo_tools.lua
+file which holds a lua table of all known amiibos. Previously updating the 
+amiibo_tools.lua was a very manual process.
+
+This script automates the following original command: 
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/N3evin/AmiiboAPI/master/database/amiibo.json | jq 'del(.amiibos[].release)' | jq 'del(.characters)' | pbcopy --> transform to table
+And outputs the formatted file as amiibo_tools.lua 
+If everything goes well, this should be an updated copy of amiibo_tools.lua 
+which can then be placed in the /lualibs/ directory. 
+The temporary amiibo.json file is then deleted 
+
+Dependencies:
+python3 -m pip install jq
+
+How to run:
+python update_amiibo_tools_lua.py
+The script will create the file amiibo_tools.lua
+
+After running, manually backup the original /lualibs/amiibo_tools.lua and move the 
+updated amiibo_tools.lua to the /lualibs/ directory.
