This project is focused on giving a proper interface for bot creation. Backends are plugable, so you can just implement your own backend, and still use other backends tailored to them. It is still ongoing work.
It follows a flask-like approach, with the idea of being independent from your code. Right now it features click as a dependency, but we may fork it inside here because of the lack of flexibility we require for asyncio execution.
Install pipenv, using either a packaged version or pip, and run pipenv install -d. With this, you should have tox command available in the pipenv virtualenv.
Run tox to execute all the tests/checks or py.test to execute just the tests.
