[PYTHON] Make Slack chatbot with Errbot

Continuation of http://qiita.com/attakei/items/29b3f0086296345216df

This time I will try to initially build an Errbot that monitors Slack and works.

Things to prepare

• Slack team
• Bot users and tokens prepared within the ↑ team
• Errbot operating environment prepared in the previous article

Edit config.py for Slack

config.py

#Near L47
#Specify the chat backend. This time specify Slack here
BACKEND = 'Slack'  # defaults to XMPP

#Near L135
 BOT_IDENTITY = {
     #Comment out the XMPP part
     # XMPP (Jabber) mode
     # 'username': 'err@localhost',  # The JID of the user you have created for the bot
     # 'password': 'changeme',       # The corresponding password for this user

#Near L152
    #You need a token to use Slack, so specify the token that is commented out
    # Slack mode (comment the others above if using this mode)
    'token': 'xoxb-your-slack-token',

#Near L179
#A list of accounts that have administrative privileges for this Errbot.@The one who starts from
BOT_ADMINS = ()

#Near L185
#The rooms and channels in which this Errbot participates. This time I will talk alone so empty tuples
CHATROOM_PRESENCE = ()

At the terminal

$ errbot

It connects to slack's messaging API.

Try to talk

Terminal side

13:05:04 INFO     errbot.plugins.ACLS       Matching ACL {} against username @attakei for command Help:help
13:05:04 INFO     errbot.plugins.ACLS       Check if help is admin only command.
13:05:04 INFO     errbot.errBot             Processing command 'help' with parameters '' from @attakei

Looking at the log, "from whom" and "what command" is output.

After that, if you put it somewhere on heroku, the chatbot is completed
