If throttle time is set to 0.0 (e.g. in tests) and the reported time since last dequeue is also 0.0 (maybe because the timer resolution is too low), takeMsg would throttle. This would make tests fail because they expect messages immediately. This issue was observed on Windows 10 20H2 with both a mingw-w64 Python v3.8.9 from MSYS2 and several version of official Python v3.x. Confirmed at least as far back as aa98d987a7f4db6e57b5b8489ca714d98c6b8452. Since it's a non-integer comparison, the change shouldn't have any observable effect in normal operation.
Supybot is a robust (it doesn’t crash), user friendly (it’s easy to configure) and programmer friendly (plugins are extremely easy to write) Python IRC bot. It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots. It includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling access to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins providing around 400 actual commands.
Limnoria is the project which continues development of Supybot since 2010.

# You might need to add $HOME/.local/bin to your PATH
supybot-wizardThere is extensive documentation at docs.limnoria.net and at Gribble wiki. We took the time to write it; you should take the time to read it.
