• Event-driven API using async/await
• Clean command registration
• Automatic event handler registration
• Built on matrix-nio

Quickstart

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

from matrix import Bot, Context

bot = Bot(username="@gracehopper:matrix.org", password="grace1234")


@bot.command("ping")
async def ping(ctx: Context):
    print(f"{ctx.sender} invoked {ctx.body} in room {ctx.room_name}.")
    await ctx.send("Pong!")


bot.start()
