A neat Slack bot for Pythonistas

requires gevent, redis, slackclient.

$pip install -r requirements.txt

Like Django, you can config your bot by editing settings.py

set your SLACK_TOKEN and REDIS_URL in settings.py. if REDIS_URL does not set, all REDIS relevant features will be ignored.

1. Add your bot for your slack account at Custom Integration Page
2. open settings.py
3. set SLACK_TOKEN. You can set REDIS_URL if it's available.
4. run $python robot.py

Type command with COMMAND_PREFIX (e.g. ! ) on the channel where the bot is on.

Bot is going to respond to your commands if your bot is on the channel where you type the command.

!help
!hi

Example apps are in the apps directory.

Hongmoa supports multiple commands for a function

@on_command(['하이', 'hi', 'hello'])
def hello_world(robot, channel, user, tokens):
    return 'Hello world!!'

then type your command with COMMAND_PREFIX (e.g. !) on the channel that including bot like !hi or !hello or !하이

Hongmoa automatically split your message into tokens by whitespaces

Let's assume that you typed !memo recall this in your channel

@on_command(['memo'])
def recall(robot, channel, user, tokens):
    assert 2 == len(tokens)
    assert 'recall' == tokens[0]
    assert 'this' == tokens[1]

Sometimes you want tokens containing whitespaces, in that case, wrap your token with double quote(") like

!memo kill "kill -9 $(ps aux | grep gunicorn | grep -v 'grep' | awk '{print $2 }')"

Hongmoa supports semi-permanent storage using redis as well as Hubot.

Let's assume that you typed !memo recall this in your channel

@on_command(['ㄱㅇ', '기억', 'memo'])
def redis_brain(robot, channel, user, tokens):
    assert 2 == len(tokens)
    key = tokens[0]
    value = tokens[1]
    robot.brain.set(key, value)

    return robot.brain.get(key)

then, Hongmoa would say this to the channel

1. Add your app and put it into apps folder
2. open settings.py and add your app name(like 'hello_word') to APPS
3. restart your bot
