mtirc 0.1.0

A fully functioning multi-threaded IRC client.

This is a multi-threaded IRC bot that was designed to connect to a “feed” network (irc.wikimedia.org) and relay those to the client network (irc.freenode.net). An example bot would look like:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import unicode_literals
import Queue

from mtirc import bot
from mtirc import settings

config = settings.config
config['nick'] = 'nick'

class RcvThread(bot.ReceiveThread):
    def parse(self, channel, text, sender):
        print text
        if text.startswith('!ping'):
            self.pull.put((channel, 'pong'))
            self.debug('got a ping')
        elif channel == config['nick']:
            #pm'ing with bot
            if sender.host == '[e-mail]':
                chan = text.split(' ')[0]
                real_text = ' '.join(text.split(' ')[1:])
                self.pull.put((chan, real_text))

push = Queue.Queue()
pull = Queue.Queue()
b = bot.Bot(push, pull, RcvThread, config, use_rc=False)
b.run()

Features
