# PyLink FAQ
|
|
|
|
### I get errors like "ImportError: No module named 'yaml'" when I start PyLink
|
|
|
|
You are missing dependencies - re-read https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/blob/master/README.md#installation
|
|
|
|
### I get errors like "yaml.scanner.ScannerError: while scanning for the next token, found character '\t' that cannot start any token"
|
|
|
|
You must use SPACES and not tabs in your configuration! (`\t` is the escaped code for a tab, which is disallowed by YAML)
|
|
|
|
### I turned autoconnect for PyLink on, and now I'm getting errors!
|
|
|
|
PyLink does not support inbound connections - much like regular services such as Atheme or Anope, it only connects outwards *to* IRCds. (If you don't understand what this means, it means you should turn autoconnect OFF for PyLink)
|
|
|
|
### Does PyLink support Clientbot relay like Janus?
|
|
|
|
Yes. However, Clientbot support is in alpha stages as of PyLink 0.10 and is far from complete: [Clientbot TODO](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aprotocols%2Fclientbot).
|
|
|
|
### Clientbot doesn't relay both ways!
|
|
|
|
Load the `relay_clientbot` plugin. https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/blob/e1fab8c/example-conf.yml#L303-L306
|
|
|
|
### Does everyone need to install PyLink Relay for it to work?
|
|
|
|
**No!** Only the PyLink administrator needs to host a PyLink instance, as each can connect to multiple networks. Everyone else only needs to add a link block on their IRCd.
|
|
|
|
InterJanus-style links between PyLink daemons are not supported yet; see https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/99 for any progress regarding that.
|
|
|
|
### What are PyLink Relay's benefits over Janus?
|
|
|
|
In no particular order:
|
|
- More complete support for modern IRCds (UnrealIRCd 4.x, InspIRCd 2.0, charybdis 4, Nefarious IRCu, etc.).
|
|
- PyLink is built upon a flexible, maintainable codebase.
|
|
- Cross platform (*nix, Windows, and probably others too).
|
|
- Proper protocol negotiation leading to fewer DoS possibilities:
|
|
- Better support for channel modes such as +fjMOR, etc.
|
|
- Configurable nick length limits for relayed users.
