Installation

Ensure that you have at least Python 3.7 installed.

To install yaboli or update your installation to the latest version, run:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/Garmelon/[email protected]

The use of venv is recommended.

Example echo bot

A simple echo bot that conforms to the botrulez can be written like so:

class EchoBot(yaboli.Bot):
    HELP_GENERAL = "/me echoes back what you said"
    HELP_SPECIFIC = [
            "This bot only has one command:",
            "!echo <text> – reply with exactly <text>",
    ]

    def __init__(self, config_file):
        super().__init__(config_file)
        self.register_botrulez(kill=True)
        self.register_general("echo", self.cmd_echo)

    async def cmd_echo(self, room, message, args):
        await message.reply(args.raw)

The bot's nick, cookie file and default rooms are specified in a config file, like so:

[general]
nick = EchoBot
cookie_file = bot.cookie

[rooms]
test

The help command from the botrulez uses the HELP_GENERAL and HELP_SPECIFIC fields.

In the __init__ function, the bot's commands are registered. The required botrulez commands (!ping, !help, !uptime) are enabled by default. Other commands like !kill need to be enabled explicitly.

In the cmd_echo function, the echo command is implemented. In this case, the bot replies to the message containing the command with the raw argument string, i. e. the text between the end of the "!echo" and the end of the whole message.

The full version of this echobot can be found in the examples.

• document new classes (docstrings, maybe comments)
• write examples
• make yaboli package play nice with mypy
• implement !uptime for proper botrulez conformity
• implement !kill
• untruncate LiveMessage-s
• config file support for bots, used by default
• make it easier to enable log messages
• make it easier to run bots
• package in a distutils-compatible way (users should be able to install yaboli using pip install git+https://github.com/Garmelon/yaboli)
• implement !restart
• write project readme
• cookie support
• fancy argument parsing
