Introduction

    In 2019, I wanted to make a chatbot for learning foreign languages, I do not know exactly why, but I really wanted to. But I liked the idea that you can make some kind of resource that is accessed through a messenger. In general, in my opinion, resources should be divided into two types: exclusively informational and design. For example, I would refer Wikipedia or the library's website to the informational ones, and an online store, a website apple.com to the design. This approach organizes resources according to their purpose.
    To create my own bot, I began to study the Internet for what and how to do. Of course, the first thing I came across was instructions for creating bots in telegram. But only in my opinion telegram is already overloaded with all kinds of bots and, unfortunately, does not have the resources to popularize the group with the exception of paid advertising in other groups.
    Later, I came across the vk_api library from python273. I liked it for its simplicity and convenience. Having added my own features to the project code, I implemented the project LinguisticBot.
    But as the project developed and scaled, I realized that the current capabilities of the library are not enough and it needs quite serious refinement. Therefore, in the format of a pet project, I decided to bring it to mind! Now, this project is a serious rethinking of the principles of the original library, as well as the appearance of new features:

• clear typing,
• castomisation,
• asynchrony,
• adequate operation of the keyboard,
• the appearance of the carousel object,
• the ability to receive and process attachments from the user (including geo-location)
• and much more!

Installation

Will be soon... But for now, you can just add the quanario folder to the root of your project and use it as a regular library.

Usage

To start development, you need to install the module (see the installation section) and import it into your project. An example of the simplest echo bot:

See an example

from quanario.bot import *


def send_keyboard(bot: Bot, message: Message, args: tuple = None):
    pass

TOKEN = "*YOUR TOKEN*"
APP_ID = 000000000

bot = Bot(token=TOKEN, app_id=APP_ID)
bot.run(init_method=send_keyboard)

Demo

As an example, I can demonstrate the community on VKontakte - LinguisticBot. This is my community for learning foreign languages for everyone. It implements all the modules of this educational school website. The bot provides 6 types of interactive tasks to increase the user's vocabulary, as well as an audition task. In addition, as an example, a store has been implemented in which you can buy tips and sections with listening. This project has been running nonstop for 2 years. During this period, a huge number of bugs and bugs in the library have been fixed Quanario_VK

FAQ

I'm just launching this project, but if you have any questions, you can always ask in issues or in our telegram chat or VKontakte group.

Alternatives

Of course, I'am not the first to decide to make a library for ourselves, so I give alternatives, perhaps you will find them more convenient for yourself:

• vkwave
• vkbottle
• LiteVkApi
• vk_maria

I believe that using my development will be pleasant for you!
