kdb 1.0.2

Knowledge (IRC) Database Bot

kdb is a small pluggable IRC Bot framework utilizing the circuits Python Application Framework.

kdb was one of the first “test” applications written in circuits and is still maintained and kept up-to-date with new features and changes in circuits.

You may use kdb as a framework to build your own projects that use the IRC protocol. kdb itself comes with a suite of useful plugins and features. If you’d like to see it in action, feel free to get in touch with the developer James Mills (prologic) on the FreeNode IRC Network who resides in the #circuits channel.

kdb was created by and is primarily maintained by James Mills
