Telegram bot with various bits of fucntionality

ohaibot

A Telegram bot with various bits of functionality

Written and tested with Python 3.4.3

Getting started

This bot is based upon ZombieBot (https://github.com/JochemKuijpers/ZombieBot). Thanks to JochemKuijpers for the great example!

Please note that this bot is meant to run in privacy mode. You can enable privacy mode for your own bot by talking to @BotFather: https://telegram.me/BotFather?setprivacy

If you want to run this code for your own bot, add your bot token and any static keyword/url pairs you want to ohaibot.json.

ohaibot's Issues

Add ability to update static commands from remote file

The basic workflow would be:

• Add a commands_conf var to config.py
• Download file commands_conf specified in config.py
• Parse file and load into python array of dicts
• Add /reloadconf command that would grab the file above and re-parse it.
• If it fails to download/parse, just use the old version of the commands array

Move everything except bot_url to ohaibot.yaml

Move all vars to ohaibot.yml except for bot_url.

Also, have the API key set to None test to make sure it is actually set in the main .py for the bot. This should make it obvious how to add the API key (and remind people if they forget).
