Python dAmn bot
Project description
dAmn Viper is a Python package created by photofroggy.
This package provides an API for connecting to and interacting with the dAmn chats. That is, deviantART’s messaging network chats.
The package was created using Python version 3, so should be used with this version, but it has been tested and proven to work on Python 2.6 and greater, thanks to some hacky module scripting.
Brief example
Creating a client quickly for dAmn is quite easy using dAmn Viper. Below is one of the simplest examples of a client that simply connects, and tries to stay connected:
from dAmnViper.base import ReconnectingClient dAmn = ReconnectingClient() dAmn.user.username = 'username' dAmn.user.password = 'password' dAmn.autojoin = ['Botdom'] dAmn.start()
That is all that is required! It is advised that you use the ReconnectingClient class when making applications that connect to dAmn. Chat bots and full clients can be made by extending the ReconnectingClient class to add functionality, as shown in the examples provided.
Prospects
I know it is a bad idea to not use Twisted, but this library was intended for use in applications where the target audience is not likely to want to spend time installing program after program. The idea was to allow the user to get the application working as quickly as possible.
I will be experimenting with Twisted in the near future and may re-release dAmn Viper using Twisted for managing the connection.
