Welcome to the Pyttman wiki!

What is Pyttman?

Pyttman is a framework for developing digital assistants, chatbots or other language driven applications.

It is inspired by Django in a few design aspects and the developer experience, and aspires to offer a similar ease of use but for chatbots / digital assistants.

The goal with Pyttman is to enable developers as little friction and complexity as possible when they set out to develop chat bots, digital assistants or otherwise natural-language-powered apps.

They should not have to bother with the nasty complexity of parsing text and figuring out how to integrate with different platforms and keeping apps follow a design pattern.

We strive to bring them the power to focus on building digital assistant apps and let Pyttman take care of the boring parts.

A few bullet points are:

• Bundled with client classes already written and integrated with the framework, so you can focus on building your app and have it online on Discord with the ready-made DiscordClient.

• Develop your app once and chat with it on muliple platforms simultaneously by using multiple Client configurations in settings.py.

• No more tangled if-statements for deciphering a user command based on certain words.

• API's for internal storage management, identifying entities (information in natural languare), scheduling of function / method calls,

• 100% object-oriented with base classes for subclassing as an alternative to using the presets.

• A clear and consice structure for how your app can be built and scale, with a directory structure set up for you.

• Offers a familiar syntax for developers with previous experience in Django

• Easy to use for simple projects - powerful and flexible for more complex projects

• Contains logging, scheduling and built-in client support for major platforms

Documentation is on the board right now and is being written as quickly as possible. In the mean time, if you just can't wait - check out this template example app on how to get an idea of how to start using Pyttman.
