A bot that is also a responsive shell
Project description
Fast, simple and lightweight micro bot framework for Python. It is distributed as a single package and has very few dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. Shellbot supports Python 3 and Python 2.7. Test coverage exceeds 90%.
Channels: a single bot can access jointly group and direct channels
Commands: routing from chat box to function calls made easy, including support of file uploads
State machines: powerful and pythonic way to bring intelligence to your bot
Stores: each bot has a dedicated data store
Utilities: convenient configuration-driven approach, chat audit, and more
Platforms: Cisco Spark, local disconnected mode for tests – looking for more
The Batman example
import os
import time
from shellbot import Engine, Context, Command
Context.set_logger()
class Batman(Command): # a command that displays static text
keyword = 'whoareyou'
information_message = u"I'm Batman!"
class Batcave(Command): # a command that reflects input from the end user
keyword = 'cave'
information_message = u"The Batcave is silent..."
def execute(self, bot, arguments=None, **kwargs):
if arguments:
bot.say(u"The Batcave echoes, '{0}'".format(arguments))
else:
bot.say(self.information_message)
class Batsignal(Command): # a command that uploads a file/link
keyword = 'signal'
information_message = u"NANA NANA NANA NANA"
information_file = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/Bat-signal_1989_film.jpg"
def execute(self, bot, arguments=None, **kwargs):
bot.say(self.information_message,
file=self.information_file)
class Batsuicide(Command): # a command only for group channels
keyword = 'suicide'
information_message = u"Go back to Hell"
in_direct = False
def execute(self, bot, arguments=None, **kwargs):
bot.say(self.information_message)
bot.dispose()
engine = Engine( # use Cisco Spark and load shell commands
type='spark',
commands=[Batman(), Batcave(), Batsignal(), Batsuicide()])
os.environ['BOT_ON_ENTER'] = 'You can now chat with Batman'
os.environ['BOT_ON_EXIT'] = 'Batman is now quitting the room, bye'
os.environ['CHAT_ROOM_TITLE'] = 'Chat with Batman'
engine.configure() # ensure that all components are ready
engine.bond(reset=True) # create a group channel for this example
engine.run() # until Ctl-C
engine.dispose() # delete the initial group channel
