class immp.core.message.User(id_=None, plug=None, *, username=None, real_name=None, avatar=None, link=None, suggested=False, raw=None)#

Bases: object

Generic class to represent senders of messages.

id#

Plug-specific user identifier.

Type:: str

plug#

Source plug instance, representing the domain this user comes from.

Type:: .Plug

username#

User’s chosen or allocated display name.

Type:: str

real_name#

User’s preferred and/or family name.

Type:: str

avatar#

URL of the user’s profile picture.

Type:: str

link#

Public profile URL, or identifier used for invites.

Type:: str

suggested#

True if the display of this user is not important. Useful for bot messages where displaying the author is superfluous – plugs may choose to show the user only if required by the network to show something.

Type:: bool

raw#: Optional plug-specific underlying user object.

async is_system()#

Equivalent to Plug.user_is_system().

Returns:: True if the user relates to the plug itself.
Return type:: bool

async private_channel()#

Equivalent to Plug.channel_for_user().

Returns:: Private channel for this user.
Return type:: .Channel

class immp.core.message.Segment(text, *, bold=False, italic=False, underline=False, strike=False, code=False, pre=False, link=None, mention=None)#

Bases: object

Substring of message text with consistent formatting.

Calling str() on an instance will return the segment text. Similarly, the length of a segment is just the length of the contained text.

text#

Plain segment text.

Type:: str

bold#

Whether this segment should be formatted bold.

Type:: bool

italic#

Whether this segment should be emphasised.

Type:: bool

underline#

Whether this segment should be underlined.

Type:: bool

strike#

Whether this segment should be struck through.

Type:: bool

code#

Whether this segment should be monospaced.

Type:: bool

pre#

Whether this segment should be preformatted.

Type:: bool

link#

Anchor URL if this segment represents a clickable link.

Type:: str

mention#

Target user mentioned in this segment.

Type:: .User

text_is_link#

True if the segment text just matches the link, potentially without a protocol.

Type:: bool

plain#

True if the segment is not formatted.

Type:: bool

same_format(other)#

Test if this and another segment are equally formatted. Works like == but ignores the segment text.

Parameters:: other (.Segment) – Second segment for comparison.
Returns:: True if the segments match.
Return type:: bool

class immp.core.message.RichText(segments=None)#

Bases: object

Common standard for formatted message text, akin to Hangouts’ message segments. This is a container designed to hold instances of Segment.

Calling str() on an instance will return the entire text without formatting.

Instances may be indexed or sliced, which will apply to the segments. The slice.step argument is overloaded to be boolean; if True, slicing will apply to characters of the text content rather than the segments. Length is always based on the content.

size#

Number of segments in the text.

Type:: int

normalise()#

Make a copy of this message with formatting applied from text boundaries.

For example:

Some<b> bold </>text.

The bold boundaries would be moved to surround “bold” excluding the spaces:

Some <b>bold</> text.

Returns:: Normalised message text instance.
Return type:: .RichText

clone()#

Make a copy of this message text and all its segments.

Returns:: Cloned message text instance.
Return type:: .RichText

prepend(*segments)#

Insert one or more segments at the beginning of the text.

Parameters:: segments (.Segment list) – New segments to lead the message text.

append(*segments)#

Insert one or more segments at the end of the text.

Parameters:: segments (.Segment list) – New segments to tail the message text.

indent(chars=' ')#

Prefix each line of text with another string.

Parameters:: chars (str) – Prefix characters to prepend to each line.
Returns:: Indented message text instance.
Return type:: .RichText

offset(pos)#

Find the position within a segment corresponding to a point along the whole text.

Parameters:: pos (int) – Position within the represented text.
Returns:: Segment and offset within it.
Return type:: (int, int) tuple

trim(length)#

Reduce a long message text to a snippet with an ellipsis.

Parameters:: length (int) – Maximum length of the message text.
Returns:: Trimmed message text instance.
Return type:: .RichText

lines()#

Split the message text into lines.

Returns:: Message text parts.
Return type:: .RichText list

chunked(limit)#

Split long text into parts, each not exceeding the length limit. Prefers splitting on line breaks where possible – any individual lines exceeding the limit will be wrapped.

Parameters:: limit (int) – Character length limit for each chunk.
Returns:: Chunked message text parts.
Return type:: .RichText list

classmethod chunked_plain(text, limit)#

Split long text into parts, each not exceeding the length limit. See chunked().

Parameters:

async get_content(sess)#

Returns:: Readable stream of the raw file.
