program your own commands.

NAME

OBX - write your own commands.

SYNOPSIS

obx  <cmd> [key=val] [key==val]
obxc [-i] [-v]
obxd
obxs

DESCRIPTION

OBX has all the python3 code to program a unix cli program, such as
disk perisistence for configuration files, event handler to
handle the client/server connection, deferred exception handling to not
crash on an error, a parser to parse commandline options and values, etc.

OBX uses object programming (OP) that allows for easy json save//load
to/from disk of objects. 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.

OBX has a demo bot, it can connect to IRC, fetch and display RSS
feeds, take todo notes, keep a shopping list and log text. You can
also copy/paste the service file and run it under systemd for 24/7
presence in a IRC channel.
