        ===========
        
        A simple Python 3 toolkit to build `Alexa
        Skills <https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit>`__ using `AWS
        Lambda <https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/>`__.
        
        ``lambdaskill`` itself has no external dependencies beyond the Python
        standard library. However, the included utilties package requires the
        aniso8601 package.
        
        The interface is pretty straight-forward. Just subclass the Skill class
        to create your own skill. Add methods named like ``do_yourintent()`` to
        handle an intent named 'yourintent'. Use the ``Response`` object to
        prepare a response. ``Card``\ s can be attached to the response if
        desired. The lambda function handler is obtained by calling the
        ``get_handler()`` class method on your new class.
        
        The following is a simple demo that would respond to an intent called
        'hellointent' that has a slot named 'NAME':
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from lambdaskill import *
        
            class DemoSkill(Skill):
        
                def do_hellointent(self, request):
                    slots = request.get_slots()
                    name = slots['NAME']
                    return Response.respond('Hello, {}'.format(name))
        
            handler = DemoSkill.get_handler()
        
        Note that intents that include characters not permitted in Python method
        names (such as the Amazon built-in intents, ex:
        AMAZON.SearchAction\ object@WeatherForecast%5Btemperature%5D) can be
        handled as follows (extending the example above):
        
        .. code:: python
        
            @DemoSkill.intent('AMAZON.SearchAction<object@WeatherForecast[temperature]>')
            def weather_intent_handler(self, request):
                return Response.respond('You asked about the weather.')
        
        Which will add the intent handler to the class definition with an
        appropriately mangled name. Obviously, you would include these lines
        before the call to ``get_hander()``, as the ``get_handler()`` call
        creates an instance of the class and returns the handler method of that
        instance.
