OBJZ has all you need to program a unix cli program, such as disk perisistence for configuration files, event handler to handle the client/server connection, easy programming of your own commands, etc.

OBJZ contains python3 code to program objects in a functional way. it provides an “clean namespace” Object class that only has dunder methods, so the namespace is not cluttered with method names. This makes storing and reading to/from json possible.

OBJZ is a python3 IRC bot, it can connect to IRC, fetch and display RSS feeds, take todo notes, keep a shopping list and log text. You can run it under systemd for 24/7 presence in a IRC channel.

objz has it’s modules in the ~/.objz/mods directory so for a hello world command you would edit a file in ~/.objz/mods/hello.py and add the following

def hello(event):

event.reply(“hello world !!”)

typing the hello command would result into a nice hello world !!

$ objz hello hello world !!

commands run in their own thread and the program borks on exit to enable a short debug cycle, output gets flushed on print so exceptions appear in the systemd logs. modules can contain your own written python3 code.
