PyLink/README.md

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: python3-expiringdict (apt-get install python3-expiringdict; not available in pip)
• For the changehost and opercmds plugins: ircmatch (pip install ircmatch)

Supported IRCds

• InspIRCd 2.0.x - module inspircd
• charybdis (3.5.x / git master) - module ts6
• Elemental-IRCd (6.6.x / git master) - module ts6
• 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.

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???
