class mindmeld.components.client.ConversationClient(url='http://localhost:7150/parse', default_params=None)[source]

Bases: object

It can be useful for testing out dialogue flows in python.

>>> convo = ConversationClient()
>>> convo.say('Hello')
['Hello. I can help you find store hours. How can I help?']
>>> convo.say('Is the store on elm open?')
['The 23 Elm Street Kwik-E-Mart is open from 7:00 to 19:00.']
