Matrix client-server SDK for Python 2.7 and 3.4+
We strongly recommend using the matrix-nio
_ library rather than this
sdk. It is both more featureful and more actively maintained.
This sdk is currently lightly maintained without any person ultimately
responsible for the project. Pull-requests may be reviewed, but no
new-features or bug-fixes are being actively developed. For more info
or to volunteer to help, please see
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-python-sdk/issues/279 or come
chat in #matrix-python-sdk:matrix.org
_.

Install with pip from pypi. This will install all necessary dependencies as well.
.. code:: shell
pip install matrix_client
Install using setup.py
in root project directory. This will also install all
needed dependencies.
.. code:: shell
git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-python-sdk.git cd matrix-python-sdk python setup.py install
The SDK provides 2 layers of interaction. The low-level layer just wraps the raw HTTP API calls. The high-level layer wraps the low-level layer and provides an object model to perform actions on.
Client:
.. code:: python
from matrix_client.client import MatrixClient
client = MatrixClient("http://localhost:8008")
# New user
token = client.register_with_password(username="foobar", password="monkey")
# Existing user
token = client.login(username="foobar", password="monkey")
room = client.create_room("my_room_alias")
room.send_text("Hello!")
API:
.. code:: python
from matrix_client.api import MatrixHttpApi
matrix = MatrixHttpApi("https://matrix.org", token="some_token")
response = matrix.send_message("!roomid:matrix.org", "Hello!")
The SDK is split into two modules: api
and client
.
This contains the raw HTTP API calls and has minimal business logic. You can
set the access token (token
) to use for requests as well as set a custom
transaction ID (txn_id
) which will be incremented for each request.
This encapsulates the API module and provides object models such as Room
.
A collection of samples are included, written in Python 3.
You can either install the SDK, or run the sample like this:
.. code:: shell
PYTHONPATH=. python samples/samplename.py
The documentation can be built by installing sphinx
and sphinx_rtd_theme
.
Simple run make
inside docs
which will list the avaliable output formats.
