Description: A robust and user friendly Python IRC bot.
|
|
|
|
|
Supybot is an IRC bot written in Python; its goals are primarily
|
|
|
|
|
clarity, utility, and flexibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clarity refers both to the code with which the bot is implemented
|
|
|
|
|
and the ease with which the users can discover how to use the bot.
|
|
|
|
|
One of the primary reasons Supybot was written was to give Python
|
|
|
|
|
programmers a better option for writing IRC bots -- the framework
|
|
|
|
|
since developed makes writing new plugins simple and easy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Utility refers to the bot's ability to serve a useful
|
|
|
|
|
purpose. Including several useful plugins by default (and always
|
|
|
|
|
gladly accepting more :)), chances are, Supybot does what you
|
|
|
|
|
want. If it doesn't yet, chances are it will, if someone's
|
|
|
|
|
interested in writing the plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flexibility refers both to the ability of the user to customize
|
|
|
|
|
the way the bot behaves and the ability of the programmer to
|
|
|
|
|
achieve his goals when writing plugins for Supybot. We've written
|
|
|
|
|
a complete, highly flexible capability system, allowing those who
|
|
|
|
|
run bots to specify with the granularity of a single command
|
|
|
|
|
exactly how their users should be able to interact with the
|
|
|
|
|
bot. For programmers, we offer entry points at every level of the
|
|
|
|
|
framework for the utmost in flexibility with respect to the IRC
|
|
|
|
|
protocol. At the highest level, they can simply reply to messages,
|
|
|
|
|
but at the lowest level they can access the actual socket to the
|
|
|
|
|
IRC server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We hope that you'll find that Supybot is an excellent and easy
|
|
|
|
|
replacement for a number of other bots, including Blootbot,
|
|
|
|
|
Mozbot, RBot, and Moobot.
