Readme

nio

nio is a multilayered Matrix client library. The underlying base layer doesn't do any network IO on its own, but on top of that is a full-fledged batteries-included asyncio layer using aiohttp. File IO is only done if you enable end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

Documentation

The full API documentation for nio can be found at https://matrix-nio.readthedocs.io

Features

nio has most of the features you'd expect in a Matrix library, but it's still a work in progress.

✅ transparent end-to-end encryption (EE2E)
✅ encrypted file uploads & downloads
✅ space parents/children
✅ manual and emoji verification
✅ custom authentication types
✅ threading support
✅ well-integrated type system
✅ knocking, kick, ban and unban
✅ typing notifications
✅ message redaction
✅ token based login
✅ user registration
✅ read receipts
✅ live syncing
✅ m.reactions
✅ m.tags
❌ cross-signing support
❌ server-side key backups (room key backup, "Secure Backup")
❌ user deactivation (#112)
❌ in-room emoji verification

Installation

To install nio, simply use pip:

$ pip install matrix-nio

Note that this installs nio without end-to-end encryption support. For e2ee support, python-olm is needed which requires the libolm C library (version 3.x). On Debian and Ubuntu one can use apt-get to install package libolm-dev. On Fedora one can use dnf to install package libolm-devel. On MacOS one can use brew to install package libolm. Make sure version 3 is installed.

After libolm has been installed, the e2ee enabled version of nio can be installed using pip:

$ pip install matrix-nio[e2e]

Additionally, a docker image with the e2ee enabled version of nio is provided in the docker/ directory.
