PyLink

PyLink is an extensible, plugin-based IRC services framework written in Python. It aims to be:

  1. a replacement for the now-defunct Janus.

  2. a versatile framework and gateway to IRC.

Support

Please report any bugs you find to the issue tracker. Pull requests are open if you’d like to contribute, though new stuff generally goes to the devel branch.

You can also find support via our IRC channels: #PyLink @ irc.overdrivenetworks.com(webchat) or #PyLink @ chat.freenode.net. Ask your questions and be patient for a response.

Dependencies

  • Python 3.4+
  • PyYAML (pip install pyyaml)
  • For the servprotect plugin: expiringdict (note: unfortunately, installation is broken in pip due to mailgun/expiringdict#13)
  • For the changehost and opercmds plugins: ircmatch (pip install ircmatch)

Supported IRCds

Primary support

These IRCds are frequently tested and well supported. If any issues occur, please file a bug on the issue tracker.

  • charybdis (3.5.x / git master) - module ts6
  • InspIRCd 2.0.x - module inspircd
  • UnrealIRCd 4.x - module unreal
    • Note: Support for mixed UnrealIRCd 3.2/4.0 networks is experimental, and requires you to enable a mixed_link option in the configuration. This may in turn void your support.

Extended support

Support for these IRCds exist, but are not tested as frequently and thoroughly. Bugs should be filed if there are any issues, though they may not be always be fixed in a timely fashion.

  • Elemental-IRCd (6.6.x / git master) - module ts6
  • InspIRCd 2.2 (git master) - module inspircd
  • IRCd-Hybrid (8.2.x / svn trunk) - module hybrid
    • Note: for host changing support and optimal functionality, a service{} block / U-line should be added for PyLink on every IRCd across your network.
  • Nefarious IRCu (2.0.0+) - module nefarious (experimental)
    • Note: FAKE hosts (+f), account cloaks (user and oper), and hashed IP cloaks are supported. Make sure you configure PyLink to match your IRCd settings.
    • Host changing for internal PyLink clients does not work. It should work for other users though.
    • Usermode +h ident@host is not fully supported.

Setup

  1. Rename example-conf.yml to config.yml and configure your instance there. Note that the configuration format isn’t finalized yet - this means that your configuration may break in an update!

  2. Run ./pylink from the command line.

  3. Profit???
