Project structure

The majority of the code is kept inside of the matrix_alertbot folder, which is in itself a python package, the __init__.py file inside declaring it as such.

To run the bot, the matrix-alertbot script in the root of the codebase is available. It will import the main function from the main.py file in the package and run it. To properly install this script into your python environment, run pip install -e . in the project's root directory.

setup.py contains package information (for publishing the code to PyPI) and setup.cfg just contains some configuration options for linting tools.

config.sample.yaml is a sample configuration file. You should copy this file to config.yaml , then edit it according to your needs. Be sure never to check the edited config.yaml into source control since it'll likely contain sensitive details such as passwords!
