PyLink

PyLink is an extensible, plugin-based IRC PseudoService written in Python. It aims to be a replacement for the now-defunct Janus.

Usage

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. Pull requests are open if you’d like to contribute.

Dependencies

Dependencies currently include:

• Python 3.4+
• PyYAML (pip install pyyaml or apt-get install python3-yaml)
• For the relay plugin only: 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

Installation

1. Rename config.yml.example to config.yml and configure your instance there. Not all options are properly implemented yet, and the configuration schema isn’t finalized yet - this means that your configuration may break in an update!

2. Run main.py from the command line.

3. Profit???
