Live Coding Video Tutorial

Here's a great live coding video tutorial from our Python Wechaty creator @wj-Mcat: https://wechaty.js.org/2020/10/26/python-wechaty-live-coding/

Quick Start

1. Clone python-wechaty-getting-started repository

   git clone https://github.com/wechaty/python-wechaty-getting-started
   cd python-wechaty-getting-started
   

2. Install Dependencies

   make install
   # or
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Set token for your bot

You need a Wechaty Puppet Service Token first, you can learn how to get it from our official docs at https://wechaty.js.org/docs/puppet-services/.

```sh
# examples/ding-dong-bot.py : func-> main()
# it must be donut token
export WECHATY_PUPPET=wechaty-puppet-service
export WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVICE_TOKEN=your_token_at_here
```

or you can use `TOKEN` or `token` environment variable alias name to set **token**, for example:

```shell
export TOKEN=your_token_at_here
# or
export token=your_token_at_here
```

Learn more about the token related concepts by reading our blog post: Introducing Wechaty Puppet Service (Providers), @huan, Jan 14, 2021

4. Run the bot

   make bot
   # or
   python examples/ding-dong-bot.py
