# 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
**PyLink is a work in progress and thus may be very unstable**! No warranty is provided if this completely wrecks your network and causes widespread rioting amongst your users!
That said, please report any bugs you find to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues). 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 channel: `#PyLink at irc.overdrivenetworks.com` ([webchat](https://webchat.overdrivenetworks.com/?channels=PyLink,dev)). Ask your questions and be patient for a response.
## Dependencies
* Python 3.4+
* PyYAML (`pip install pyyaml` or `apt-get install python3-yaml`)
* *For the relay plugin*: expiringdict (`pip install expiringdict`/`apt-get install python3-expiringdict`)
### 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 (**experimental**) - module `unreal` (*NOT* Unreal 3.2 or lower)
## Setup
1) Rename `config.yml.example` 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???
