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.
