Python Matrix library, built on the Matrix Client-Server SDK

setup

pip install scalar

Create a configuration.

mkdir -p ~/.config/scalar
touch ~/.config/scalar/config.yaml

The configuration file contents should be like the following:

{
    "configurations": {
        "scriptwire": {
            "default"   : True,
            "homeserver": "https://matrix.example.pro:8448",
            "username"  : "scriptwire",
            "passcode"  : "qo3i4tbc35wgtt4gbwikgvtib3ctgt7bgi3rgw",
            "room_alias": "!cgOnMzaBWCLjBnhGiB:matrix.example.org"
        }
    },
    "version_config": "2018-08-23T1930Z"
}

There can be multiple configurations, such as for separate accounts. One configuration must be set as the default if a configuration is not specified on setup. A room must be one to which the account has been invited.

client

A scalar terminal client can be launched in the following way:

scalar_client

alert

An alert message can be sent on the terminal, in a way like the following:

scalar_alert --message="This is an alert message."

An alert message can be send in Python, in a way like the following:

import scalar
scalar.alert(message="alert")

megaparsex can be used with scalar to send data via messages, in ways like the following:

import megaparsex
import scalar
scalar.alert(message=megaparsex.report_IP())
scalar.alert(message=megaparsex.report_system_status())
scalar.alert(message=megaparsex.report_METAR("EGPF"))

upload and send text, files, audio, images and video

import scalar
scalar.send_text("test")
scalar.send_file("test.csv")
scalar.send_audio("test.ogg")
scalar.send_image("test.gif")
scalar.send_video("test.mp4")
