Port code to use official Slack client SDK?

Open nahojkap opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Are there any plans to convert slack-cli to use the official Slack Python client SDK?

https://slack.dev/python-slackclient

Seems that slacker is not receiving any further updates.

Hi @johanlindquist! Your comment makes sense. I didn't realise Slack had released a Python SDK. Yes, it would be reasonable to port slack-cli to the new SDK.

In all honesty, this project needs some love. For instance, I should also address the pending authentication issues (see #40). The problem is that I have little time or desire to work on this project right now, for the following reasons:

  1. I am currently working on other open source projects.
  2. I very seldom use slack-cli. Actually, the less I use Slack the better I feel.

I guess it would be time for me to look for a new project manager...

Hi @regisb

Understood, perhaps I will see if I have some time to update this - think #40 is probably pretty easy to fix if using the new SDK.

And comment 2) there is interesting, you have to wonder how much information overload slack is guilty of.
