A lightweight framework for building cli-inspired Slack bots.

Slouch is a lightweight Python framework for building cli-inspired Slack bots.

Here’s an example bot built with Slouch:

from slouch import Bot, help

class PingBot(Bot):
    pass

@PingBot.command
def pingme(opts, bot, event):
    """Usage: pingme [--message=<message>]

    Respond with an at-mention to the sender.

    Pass _message_ to include a message in the response.
    """

    sender_slack_id = event['user']
    message = opts['<message>']
    response = ""

    if message is not None:
        response = message

    return "<@%s> %s" % (sender_slack_id, response)

Install with pip install slouch.
