Loaf

Loaf is a slack client written in python

Why?

I wanted to write a slack client in python.

Getting started

1. Get a slack token for your team here: https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens

2. Create a config.json file for each of your teams with the token generated in step #1:

   {
   "team": [
   {
   "name": "slack team #1",
   "token": "xoxp-..."
   }
   {
   "name": "slack team #2",
   "token": "xoxp-..."
   }
   ]
   }
   

3. Run the client

   $ venv/bin/loaf
   

Notes

This is more of a proof of concept than anything. at the moment loaf is very bare bones and is not meant for everyday use.

The Slack API wrapper is extremely bare bones, since I only impemented what I needed. Existing Asyncio aware API wrappers like 'slacker' weren't used since I wanted to write my own wrapper

This is the first application I've written using urwid, so pull requests are welcomed to help improve the code.
