Major rewrite/refactor

[TheInitializer]

I don't like the giant single file I have to keep all my code in, the Big Giant Dict™️ that's becoming increasingly unorganized, or the mixture of Decent code and WeeChat code. So I'm rewriting it.

My current plan is to create a Decent API wrapper for Python (with lots of OO), try to submit it to PyPI (not entirely sure how to do that, but will look into it) and include it as a dependency for Weecent (which will import decent and write all the WeeChat code based on that.)

I'll start by writing the Decent library, so literally every issue on this repo will be blocked.

I'll also look into possibly using another Websockets library, since I seem to be having some issues with the one I'm using. My Decent library (and therefore the websockets library) will have to support Python 2 because WeeChat needs to be compiled with a separate flag to use Python 3 (seriously guys why can't you just have separate python2 and python3 plugins 😠).

Rough outline for decent.py design:

import decent

server = decent.Server("https://meta.nonfree.news", "xn--cr8h", "password123")

@server.onmessage
def onmessage(message):
    server.send_message(message.channel, "received a message")

server.connect()

I'm not looking at any other similar libraries while writing this, but this seems to make sense.

ugh i wanna use asyncio

weechat pls

[TheInitializer]

import discord
import asyncio

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!test'):
        counter = 0
        tmp = await client.send_message(message.channel, 'Calculating messages...')
        async for log in client.logs_from(message.channel, limit=100):
            if log.author == message.author:
                counter += 1

        await client.edit_message(tmp, 'You have {} messages.'.format(counter))
    elif message.content.startswith('!sleep'):
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await client.send_message(message.channel, 'Done sleeping')

client.run('token')

I like this.

from slackclient import SlackClient

slack_token = os.environ["SLACK_API_TOKEN"]
sc = SlackClient(slack_token)

sc.api_call(
  "chat.postMessage",
  channel="#python",
  text="Hello from Python! :tada:"
)

I don't like this.

We're probably going to do that with Node.js for the official client sometime soon 🎉

Good luck!

I currently have a library which looks like this:

import decent

server = decent.Server("https://meta.decent.chat", "xn--cr8h", "password123")
server.connect()

@server.event
def on_message(message):
    if message.text != "Hi, I just received a message that is not this one":
        server.send("Hi, I just received a message that is not this one", message.channel)

while True:
    server.mainloop()

I'll put it on GitHub when it's more finished.
