Direct Connect Client Library for Python

Run tests

docker compose run test

Linting is black/isort/mypy/flake8 and those can be run locally as appropriate.

Usage

Import and create a client.

from direct_connect import nmdc

client = nmdc.NMDC(host="example.com", nick="my_bot", socket_timeout=2.0)

Send a message.

await msg = await client.send_chat("test chat")

Get a message.

await msg = await client.get_message()

Note this is 'blocking' in the sense that messages are not being retrieved if get_message() is not being awaited. It may make sense to build a worker pattern in your application with a task continually checking for messages.

Messages are returned as dictionaries with user and message keys.

>>> msg
{"user": "my_bot", "message": "test chat"}
