It's time to say goodbye. I'm archiving Slacker. It's been getting harder to find time to maintain this project for a while now. For years it's been the most popular Python library for Slack. Eventually Slack decided to go with their library <https://github.com/slackapi/python-slackclient>_, and I lost my motivation to maintain it. Thank you all for your contributions to this project.
