UnitBot
unitBot is a slack bot that converts imperial units into european units, and vice
versa.
To run one needs a pivate.py file which contains (see example below):
- api token,
- a user name or channel name to send the error messages.
API_TOKEN= 'my_slack_group_token'
ERRORS_TO= 'where_to_send_erorr'
Note: The API token can also provided the API token in a
SLACKBOT_API_TOKEN environment variable.
unitBot depends on the quantities python library as well as slackbot.
The unibot_plugins.py contains the parameters of the unitbot.
To add new unit conversion, add lines in the unit_dict, using the following
syntax: 'X': [q.X, q.Y],, where X represents the unit symbol that uniBot
should recognize, q.X the corresponding quantities unit, and q.Y the
quantities output unit.
Note: if using a non absolute value (such as Celcius), the conversion might need some
offset adjustment (see Celcius to Fahraneit conversion).
