slackblocks is a pure Python package and is published to PyPI as a wheel on every release. As of v0.1.0 it has no dependencies outside of the Python standard library.

Requirements

  • Python 3.8.1 or newer for the 1.x release line.
  • Python 3.10 or newer for the 2.x release line (in development).
  • No runtime dependencies.

For the full Python version support matrix and how to pin to a release line that matches your runtime, see Compatibility.

Verifying your installation

from slackblocks import Message, SectionBlock

print(Message(channel="#general", blocks=SectionBlock("Hello, world!")).json())

If this prints a formatted JSON object describing a message, you're ready to go.

Version pinning

slackblocks follows semantic versioning. Pinning to a major version is recommended:

slackblocks~=1.2

slackblocks = "^1.2"
