pybot

Wrapper for python-telegram-bot to allow dynamic plug-in architecture, an attempt to make python-telegram-bot more hubottish.

Execution flow

1. bin/pybot starts the bot with the selected adapter and using the configuration options defined in conf/pybot.conf or the command-line arguments.

2. The selected adapter receives the message and sends it to the brain.py.

3. The brain.py loads in runtime all the .py files in the ./memory folder each time and try to execute a defined method, for example hear(message.text).

4. Each module in ./memory with that method returns a response, the brain.py sends it to the pybot.py and it sends the response back to the chat.

• As the methods are dynamically loaded, you can edit and add the files in ./memory without need to restart pybot.py, and they will be reloaded on the next message. Overkill but funny.
