Sending a Chat message from the command line
---------------------------------------------
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")
ac.set_config("addr", "address@example.org")
ac.set_config("mail_pwd", "some password")
# start IO threads and perform configuration
ac.start()
# create a contact and send a message
contact = ac.create_contact("someother@email.address")
chat = ac.create_chat_by_contact(contact)
chat.send_text("hi from the python interpreter command line")
# shutdown IO threads
ac.shutdown()
