========
Playing around on the commandline
----------------------------------
Once you have :doc:`installed deltachat bindings <install>`
you can start playing from the python interpreter commandline::
For example you can type ``python`` and then::
# instantiate and configure deltachat account
import deltachat
ac = deltachat.Account("/tmp/db")
# start configuration activity and smtp/imap threads
ac.start_threads()
ac.configure(addr="test2@hq5.merlinux.eu", mail_pw="********")
# create a contact and send a message
contact = ac.create_contact("someother@email.address")
chat = ac.create_chat_by_contact(contact)
chat.send_text_message("hi from the python interpreter command line")
Checkout our :doc:`api` for the various high-level things you can do
to send/receive messages, create contacts and chats.
Looking at a real example
-------------------------
The `deltabot repository <https://github.com/deltachat/deltabot#deltachat-example-bot>`_
contains a real-life example of Python bindings usage.
