Asynchronous Slack API integration.
Project description
/əˈslæk/
aSlack is a lightweight, asynchronous wrapper for Slack’s Web and Real-Time Messaging (RTM) APIs, designed to allow the easy development of Slack tools and bots in Python. It defines two principal components:
SlackApi - a wrapper around the Web API; and
SlackBot - a messaging bot built on top of the RTM API.
Compatibility
aSlack uses asyncio with the async and await syntax, so is only compatible with Python versions 3.5 and above.
Dependencies
Asynchronous HTTP and WebSocket functionality is provided by aiohttp (version 0.15 and above required for out-of-the-box WebSocket client support).
Documentation
aSlack’s documentation is available on PythonHosted.
Installation
aSlack is available through the Python Package Index, PyPI, you can install it with:
pip install aslack
Alternatively, clone or fork the repository and use e.g.:
python setup.py develop
to install locally for development. In this case, you should also install the development dependencies (ideally in a virtualenv) using:
