slacktools 0.0.4

Toolbelt for Slack API clients for Web API and RTM API

A toolbelt for working with the various Slack APIs in python.

Features

• Authorization utils to verify X-Slack-Signature

• Message text utils to do things like:

  • Format slack control sequences like <@USERIDXX> and <text|url> with proper escaping

  • Extract mentions and grab user ids from mentions

  • Properly escape message text

• Message sending functions with partial application to reduce boilerplate and improve testability

• Silly stuff

Check out the docs for more info and API documentation.

Roadmap

• Wider python support? This lib only supports python 3 right now. However, if someone needs it, I can add python 2 compatibility.

• 100% test coverage

• Friendly message builder API?

• Build deep links into clients
