EVERYONE: --------- Read LICENSE. It's a 2-clause BSD license, but you should read it anyway. USERS: ------ Read docs/GETTING_STARTED for an introduction to the bot. Read docs/CAPABILITIES to see how to use capabilities more to your benefit. If you have any trouble, feel free to swing by #supybot on irc.freenode.net or irc.oftc.net (we have a Supybot there relaying, so either network works) and ask questions. We'll be happy to help wherever we can. And by all means, if you find anything hard to understand or think you know of a better way to do something, *please* post it on Sourceforge.net so we can improve the bot! WINDOWS USERS: -------------- The wizards (supybot-wizard, supybot-newplugin, and supybot-adduser) are all installed to your Python directory's \Scripts. What that *probably* means is that you'll run them like this: C:\Python23\python C:\Python23\Scripts\supybot-wizard DEVELOPERS: ----------- Read OVERVIEW to see what the modules are used for. Read EXAMPLE to see some examples of callbacks and commands written for the bot. Read INTEFACES to see what kinds of objects you'll be dealing with. Read STYLE if you wish to contribute; all contributed code must meet the guidelines set forth there.. Use PyLint. It's even better than PyChecker. A sample .pylintrc file is included as tools/pylintrc. Copy this to ~/.pylintrc and you'll be able to check your code with the same stringent guidelines I've found useful to check my code. (deja vu? :)) Be sure to run "test/test.py --help" to see what options are available to you when testing. Windows users in particular should be sure to exclude test_Debian.py and test_Unix.py.
