Python deltabot-cli

This example is about creating a bot with the bot framework deltabot-cli-py, which gives a hook based interface and a cli interface to configure your bot.

This is a python framework for bots, see ../README.md for other approaches to write bot in python.

Usage

Per default the bot data and configuration is stored in your user directory (Library/Application Support/bot_name/, .config/bot_name/, on windows probably in %APPDATA% ).

You can change configuration location with --config-dir flag (--config-dir PATH or -c PATH).
