The Slack Python SDK has corresponding packages for Slack APIs. They are small and powerful when used independently, and work seamlessly when used together, too.
The Slack platform offers several APIs to build apps. Each Slack API delivers part of the capabilities from the platform, so that you can pick just those that fit your needs.
