pysimpirc 0.1.4

Simple IRC module

pysimpirc is a barebones IRC bot library meant to be simple to use. It does not attempt to catch the replies to messages, but has all the features necessary to build a relatively advanced bot, including:

• Queuing messages so as to not flood the IRC server,

• interpretation of the MODE command,

• parsing of the RPL_ISUPPORT line and adherance to many options,

• uncluttered interface - no zope.interfaces nor anything like it, only a base class and a subclass with more functionality,

• not hard-wired to TCP - could theoretically use UNIX sockets or anything you choose to implement,

• IPv6 compatible.

It is the aim of this library to not be in the way of the programmer and avoid introducing new, foreign concepts.

For a basic example, see the example.py file provided in the distribution.
