Yet another common wrapper for Telegram bots and Alice skills

tgalice

This is yet another common Python wrapper for Telegram bots^* and Alice skills.

Currently, it provides:

• An (almost) unified interface between your bot and Telegram or Alice: DialogConnector
• A number of simple dialogue constructors: BaseDialogManager and its flavors
• A wrapper for storing dialogue state: BaseStorage and its flavors

These three components may be combined as follows:

import tgalice
connector = tgalice.dialog_connector.DialogConnector(
    dialog_manager=tgalice.dialog_manager.BaseDialogManager(), 
    storage=tgalice.session_storage.FileBasedStorage(path='sessions')
)

Now you can plug both Alice and Telegram into the connector. In the example below, they are served with Flask.

@app.route("/" + ALICE_URL, methods=['POST'])
def alice_response():
    response = connector.respond(request.json, source='alice')
    return json.dumps(response, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)


@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
def telegram_response(message):
    response = connector.respond(message, source='telegram')
    bot.reply_to(message, **response)

The examples directory contains more detailed examples of how to create dialogs and serve the bot.

** The Telegram wrapper is based on the pyTelegramBotAPI package.
