A Discord Bot written by Members of the Programming Server to evaluate code and browse documentation.

• Basic Bot framework, using the commands extension of discord.py
• Code Evaluation using Coliru
• Documentation search for various languages

This Project requires a Python 3.6 Interpreter as well as the following packages:

• discord.py rewrite (Documentation)

Usage of a virtual environment is highly recommended.
You can setup these using the following commands:

# Create a virtual environment, activate it
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install discord.py from GitHub
python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@rewrite

You need to set a DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable for the Bot to connect to Discord. An easy way to do this by using a Virtual Environment is shown [here](TODO: create wiki page). To start the bot, simply use the following commands:

# If the virtual environment is not activated yet:
source venv/bin/activate

# Run application
python3 run.py

# When you're done with using it, use `deactivate` to leave the venv
deactivate

To run the tests, you need pytest and pylint installed. Installation is pretty straightforward:

pip3 install pytest
pip3 install pylint

The master branch must always be working without any bugs, so adding new features, fixing bugs, refactoring code or other changes must be worked on within branches. For discussion and getting your branch merged, please use Pull Requests. Also, please make sure to use descriptive commit messages so other collaborators can understand your changes easier. Each commit should represent one idea. Please view this for a more detailed description of the GitHub Flow.

Pull Requests are validated through the tests in test using Travis, make sure that they pass before submitting one. Additionally, make sure your code conforms to PEP8. Tools like autopep8 ease this process a lot.
