twitchobserver makes interacting with Twitch chat super easy. It is built and tuned for realtime applications. You can make chatbots chat. You can build *Twitch Plays* video games.

## Features

- *Pure Python:* No extra dependencies. Just plain and simple Python.
- *Small API:* With a few classes and a handful of methods, you can learn it over a coffee break.
- *Event Based:* Makes writing apps easy and straightforward.
- *Context Manager:* Further simplifies working with observers.

## Installation

```$ pip install twitchobserver```

## Usage

```python
from twitchobserver import Observer

observer = Observer('Nick', 'oauth:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123')
observer.start()
observer.join_channel('channel')
observer.send_message('Hello and goodbye', 'channel')
observer.leave_channel('channel')
```

## Documentation

API documentation can be found over on [ReadtheDocs.org](http://twitch-observer.readthedocs.io/en/latest).

## Tests

```$ python -m unittest discover -s tests```

## Examples

#### Echo bot

Whenever a message is sent, echo it back. The ```Observer``` is created as a [context manager object](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#context-managers) which will implicitly handle calling ```start()``` and ```stop()```.

```python
import time
from twitchobserver import Observer

with Observer('Nick', 'oauth:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123') as observer:
observer.join_channel('channel')

while True:
try:
for event in observer.get_events():
if event.type == 'TWITCHCHATMESSAGE':
observer.send_message(event.message, event.channel)

time.sleep(1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
observer.leave_channel('channel')
break
```
