A lightweight framework for building slack bots
Phial is a slack bot framework, modelled loosely on flask.
from phial import Phial, command, Response
bot = Phial('---slack token here---')
@bot.command('greet <name>')
def greet(name):
'''A command with an argument which replies to a message'''
return "Hello {0}".format(name)
bot.run()By default the bot requires a prefix of ! before its commands. This
can be changed in the config.
youruser: > !greet jim bot: > Hello Jim
