+However, there are many good alternatives out there for creating Matrix bots. In Python:
+
+* [matrix-nio](https://github.com/matrix-nio/matrix-nio) - The library this template is based on.
+* [mautrix-python](https://github.com/mautrix/python) - Another low-level(ish) python matrix library.

+
+for even more options, see <https://matrix.org/ecosystem/sdks/>. Happy hacking!
