It wraps HTTP requests and WebSocket connections to let you programmatically interact with Mattermost servers\u2014creating channels, posting messages, uploading files, managing users and teams, and listening to real-time events. The library handles authentication via login credentials, personal access tokens, or custom auth headers, and provides a straightforward object-oriented interface where API endpoints map directly to driver methods (e.g., `driver.users.get_user()`, `driver.channels.create_channel()`).\n\nThe package depends on websockets and requests for its core functionality. It supports Python 3.5 through 3.9 and is marked as Production/Stable in its classifiers. However, the repository is now archived and abandoned\u2014the last release was in January 2022, with no commits or maintenance since then. This means the package will not receive updates for new Mattermost API changes, security patches, or compatibility fixes for newer Python versions.","worth_installing":"No, not recommended for new projects. While the package is stable and has low install friction, it is archived and abandoned with no maintenance since January 2022. Any future changes to the Mattermost API, security vulnerabilities, or Python compatibility issues will go unaddressed. Use only if you are maintaining legacy code already tied to this library and cannot migrate to an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"mattermostdriver","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mattermostdriver","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mattermostdriver.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mattermostdriver/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mattermostdriver","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python Mattermost Driver"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":137070,"position":11377,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"7.3.2"}
