nficano / slackcat Goto Github PK

Hi,

If sending a non-ASCII 7-bit string, I get character encoding issues with slackcat.

Example:

$ echo "åäö" | slackcat @myuser

This is received in Slack as

åäö

What character encoding is slackcat expecting? Should I convert my input? Or is it possible to specify/override? Or is this a bug?

Hello,

nice project :)

I plan on contributing and then package this for Debian.

I think it would be best to use a configuration file (json is easy and python supports it without external libs) instead of env vars, so one only needs to change that file.

In case one uses more instances of slack, separated, it could be useful to have a --config parameter to use a different file.

Since "#" is a comment on the terminal, it could be automatically prefixed if it's absent maybe.

I can do the changes myself, I'm just announcing my intention of polishing it a little bit and then including in Debian.

Bye

Dependabot couldn't authenticate with https://pypi.python.org/simple/.

You can provide authentication details in your Dependabot dashboard by clicking into the account menu (in the top right) and selecting 'Config variables'.

Does slackcat need tty? I am unable to output to slackcat via script in cron.
Command line and running the script locally runs ok.

Hi Folks. I ran pip install slackcat and then echo $PATH | slackcat "#tmp", which gives the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ec2-user/.local/bin/slackcat", line 5, in
from slackcat.main import main
File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/slackcat/main.py", line 8, in
import slack
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'slack'

I tried pip3 install slack which got me to this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

from slackcat.main import main
File "/home/ec2-user/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/slackcat/main.py", line 9, in
from ioutil import Stream
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ioutil'

I then tried pip3 install ioutil but it failed:

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ioutil (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for ioutil

I'm used to something like pipenv install. What am I missing? Thank you.
