CreateActiveUser gains keepActiveUser. Creating a user activates it, and APIChangePreparedContactUser resolves the chat under the active user, so create-then-reassign cannot find the chat the invitation is for. With the flag the sequence has nothing to undo: create, reassign while the old profile still owns it, switch once. BoolDef makes the field default to False, so older clients and both CLI parsers are unaffected. It is ignored when there is no active user to keep, which would otherwise leave none at all. Includes the regenerated NewUser type in the three generated client artifacts, and the two hand-synced clients that build a NewUser literal.
SimpleX Chat Python library
Python 3.11+ client for SimpleX Chat bots. Equivalent to the Node.js library.
Install
pip install simplex-chat
The native libsimplex is downloaded lazily on first use. To pre-fetch:
python -m simplex_chat install # sqlite (default)
python -m simplex_chat install --backend postgres # linux-x86_64 only
Quick start
import re
from simplex_chat import Bot, BotProfile, Message, SqliteDb, TextMessage
bot = Bot(
profile=BotProfile(display_name="Squaring bot"),
db=SqliteDb(file_prefix="./squaring_bot"),
welcome="Send me a number, I'll square it.",
)
@bot.on_message(content_type="text", text=re.compile(r"^-?\d+(\.\d+)?$"))
async def square(msg: TextMessage) -> None:
n = float(msg.text or "0")
await msg.reply(f"{n} * {n} = {n * n}")
@bot.on_message(content_type="text")
async def fallback(msg: Message) -> None:
await msg.reply("Send me a number, like 7 or 3.14.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
bot.run()
bot.run() blocks. The connection address is logged on startup — paste it into a SimpleX client to talk to the bot. Ctrl+C to stop.
Three decorators: @bot.on_message(...), @bot.on_command(name), @bot.on_event(tag). Message handlers are first-match-wins in registration order, so register specific filters first and catch-alls last.
See examples/squaring_bot.py for the full example.
Development
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e '.[dev]'
ruff check && pyright && pytest tests/
Wire types under src/simplex_chat/types/_*.py are generated. Regenerate with cabal test simplex-chat-test --test-options='--match Python'.
Release
Manual for now. Bump _version.py:__version__, build a wheel, upload to PyPI:
uv build --wheel
uv publish --token "$PYPI_TOKEN"
