Chattie, a bot framework for Python. Inspired by Hubot

Yep we're using it on my other project, and on my podcast

Additionally the base bot itself is a working demo, you just need to install it with pip3 install chattie and run chattie run --connector term !

Done!

Yeah I've been looking into how to do that I think I'll end up adding instructions in the new that says "pip install this if you want to use this connector"

Edit:

I've made this change.

So I've actually used Errbot in the past, the primary things I didn't like about Errbot:

• Doesn't use entry_points for plugin management. This makes versioning things super difficult because it's builtin plugin manager just downloads things from Git

• Complexity, Errbot has A LOT of functionality most of it I didn't need or want. For example ACL's, baked in sub commands, baked in template rendering etc. If those things are required on a per command basis the trick author can implement them in their module.

• Kind of with the above, making a backend for Errbot is wayyyyyy harder IMO for Errbot for comparison here is there telegram backend:

Here is the Chattie equivalent:

In summary, Chattie is a small core that is focused on standard tooling and being simple to extend. Errbot is much more full-featured. It's like Flask vs Django!

Thanks!

So currently none of those features are supported. It'd be pretty easy to add inline keyboard support to the connector, inline bots I'm not so sure about.
