The Python chatbot framework with batteries included

About

The Pyttman Framework aims to provide a similar experience as Django and Flask does for web, but for chatbots and digital assistants.

With class based intents, abilities and entities - elements which are key in any chatbot environment; they are offered in a very easy way to work with if one is unfamiliar with them; or a very extensive and flexible framework with the ability to subclass and customize behavior of key parts of the framework.

Pyttman aims to offer developers a platform-independent experience. We're constantly developing support for more platforms. As of today, Pyttman offers built-in support for Discord through the discord.py library, and we have more on the way. All you have to do is to do is choose which platform client you use in settings.py for your app to go online on a different platform.

The TL:DR

• App creation and orchestration using a built-in CLI tool: pyttman <subcommand> <args>
• Class-based Intents -> similar to APIView classes, to match patterns of words (rules) to your code. Ability classes wrap around Intents, which provides encapsulation and offers lifecycle hooks.
• Built-in help generators for end-users based on metadata in your Intents
• Built-in support for Discord - more platforms to come.
• Encapsulated storage objects accessible within Intents, scoped under Ability classes
• Built-in thread based task scheduler
• Abstraction layer middleware for managing incoming Messages just like requests in API frameworks
• Django-like settings.py file
• Powerful built-in rule-based API for parsing entities in messages (identifying words based on pre/suffixes and/or regex patterns, and/or order of appearence

Open source notices

Thank you to all developers who worked on the following dependencies:

• Pyttman uses Py7zr for extractions
• Pyttman uses MultiDict in its scheduler API
• Pyttman uses pytz for timezones
• Pyttman uses requests in tools offering easier API integration
• Pyttman uses discord.py when adding support for native development of apps integrated with the Discord platform. discord.Client and discord.Message are subclassed.
