Exercism Discord Bot

This is a Python bot built on top of the Discord.py framework.

TODO: Document the various bot features.

Code layout

  • .env contains private configuration values which are populated into the environment.
  • conf.py contains public configuration values which are passed into various Cogs.
  • bot.py is the executable entry point. It instantiates the various Cogs and starts the bot.
  • mentor_requests.py tracks requests on Exercism and updates threads with current requests.
  • mod_message.py provides an app command (or slash command) for mods to send canned messages.
  • track_react.py contains the logic to react to messages with track-specific emojis.

Setup

Exercism library

exercism_lib is a symlink to this Exercism lib, which is used to fetch data from Exercism. Ideally, this would be a proper git submodule and the Exericsm logic would be its own repo, not a shared projects repo.

ln -s $root/python-projects/exercism.org exercism_lib

Configurations

The dotenv module is used to load some configurations from a private .env file. Expected environment variables include:

  • DISCORD_TOKEN: The bot token used by the bot to identify with Discord.
