vkbottle is an asynchronous Python framework for building VK (VKontakte) bots and interacting with the VK API. It provides both high-level abstractions (Bot, User, labelers, rules, middlewares, state dispensers) and low-level API clients with pluggable request/response validation, token rotation, and error handling. The framework is fully async, built on asyncio and aiohttp, and supports long polling, callback API, and dual mode (simultaneous polling and callback). It includes extensive tooling for keyboards, templates, uploaders, markdown-to-VK-format conversion, VKScript generation, event deduplication, and a waiter machine for awaiting future events. The architecture is modular with abstract base classes for nearly every component, enabling custom implementations. The codebase is well-structured with clear separation of concerns, extensive test coverage, and CI/CD pipelines. Deprecated components (LoopWrapper, Blueprints) are clearly marked, and the library is actively maintained with a mature version 4.11.0.
