Hey! I think this is a great program, and I am enjoying it. I wanted to ask, what if I wanted to create a GUI for my bot? When I was running the python-aiml library, (another different library from your own, that one only mimics AIML 1.0) I was able to simply import the module, load aiml using 1 line of code, and I would send an input() to the kernel function, in which case it would send a string back with the reply from the bot. This made it really easy to manipulate that string and easily convert it to a nice application with tkinter, all in one main bot.py that I created.

How could I accomplish this with programy? I can see I can edit the brains of the bot, and it reads AIML 2.0 and all, which is AWESOME, and it functions with many other scripts I dare NOT touch, but I have only been able to run the y-bot.cmd from the command line and it magically loads up the bot. It's great, but how could I control what gets sent to the bot and what the bot replies?

If this helps, this is more or less of what I would like to do:

import something-perhaps?
m=input("send something to the bot?")

reply = bot.send(m)

then reply has that respone from the bot, and I can use reply and do whatever I want with it. In this script if I want to combine it with tkinter for a small chatbot application, I can do that as well.

Again, this is NOT a feature I want you to implement. Not at all. This is for me. I will like to see how I can manipulate in a python script what gets sent to the bot and what the bot sends back.

A million thanks for this!! And I love your work, keep it up!
