C++

#include "PythonChat.h"
#include "PythonPlayer.h"

char buf[512 + 1];
_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Hello, %s!", CPythonPlayer::Instance().GetName());
CPythonChat::Instance().AppendChat(CHAT_TYPE_INFO, buf);

Python:

import chat
import player

chat.AppendChat(chat.CHAT_TYPE_INFO, "Hello, {}.".format(player.GetName()))

Keep in mind that's a local message, will be visible just for your instance.

If you want to send a message through the server that everyone can see it, you've to use this way:

#include "PythonChat.h"
#include "PythonPlayer.h"
#include "PythonNetworkStream.h"

char buf[512 + 1];
_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Hello, %s!", CPythonPlayer::Instance().GetName());
CPythonNetworkStream::Instance().SendChatPacket(buf, CHAT_TYPE_SHOUT);
