RSSBOT - feed rss into your channel
DESCRIPTION
RSSBOT is a python3 bot able to display rss feeds in your channel. It provides all the tools to program a bot, such as disk perisistence for configuration files, event handler to handle the client/server connection, code to introspect modules for commands, deferred exception handling to not crash on an error, a parser to parse commandline options and values, etc. You can also copy/paste the service file and run it under systemd for 24/7 presence in a IRC channel.
