TOB 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.
TOB 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.
TOB 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.
TOB is Public Domain.

tob has it’s modules in the ~/.tob/mods directory so for a hello world command you would edit a file in ~/.tob/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 !!
$ tob 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.
