| So here's a general *programming* introduction to what the different
 | |
| modules do and what services they provide.  It is, however, only an
 | |
| introduction.  Read the modules themselves for a much more detailed
 | |
| explanation :)
 | |
| 
 | |
| fix.py: Stuff that Python should (but doesn't) include by default.
 | |
| 
 | |
| cdb.py: A constant database library, translated from C (and my O'Caml
 | |
|         version) More information available at
 | |
|         http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html.  Not currently used since we
 | |
|         switched to PySQLite.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ansi.py: Contains different ANSI color sequences.
 | |
|          Mostly used by the debug module.
 | |
| 
 | |
| conf.py: The configuration file for the bot -- it sets a lot of
 | |
|          variables that other modules check for when they have
 | |
|          questions about what they need to do.
 | |
| 
 | |
| world.py: Just a dropping off place for some globals that need to be
 | |
|           shared among all the modules.  It's obviously not used *a
 | |
|           lot*, but some things seem to fit better here than anywhere
 | |
|           else.
 | |
| 
 | |
| template.py: A template used by setup.py to create customized runnable
 | |
|              Python scripts for individual bots.
 | |
| 
 | |
| privmsgs.py: Basic stuff relating to callbacks.Privmsg, the base class
 | |
|              for most plugins.
 | |
| 
 | |
| callbacks.py: A few basic callbacks providing significant
 | |
|               functionality.  You'll likely be inheriting from Privmsg
 | |
|               quite a bit.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ircdb.py: The users and channels databases are here, as well as the
 | |
|           IrcUser and IrcChannel classes.  Look here when you want to
 | |
|           restrict a command to only certain users.
 | |
| 
 | |
| irclib.py: Provides the most important class in the irclib, Irc.  It
 | |
|            represents a connection to an IRC server, but it's entirely
 | |
|            separate from the network implementation.  It's connected
 | |
|            to the network (or whatever else drives it) by a "driver"
 | |
|            module which uses its feedMsg/takeMsg functions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| drivers.py: The baseclass (IrcDriver) for various drivers to drive
 | |
|             irclib.Irc classes.  Also, the driving mechanism.
 | |
| 
 | |
| asyncoreDrivers.py: The asyncore-based drivers for use with the bot.
 | |
| 
 | |
| socketDrivers.py: The plain old socket-based drivers for use with the
 | |
|                   bot.
 | |
| 
 | |
| twistedDrivers.py: The Twisted <http://www.twistedmatrix.com/> drivers
 | |
|                    for use with the bot.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ircmsgs.py: The IrcMsg class (get to know it :)) and various functions
 | |
|             for making the creation of IrcMsgs easier.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ircutils.py: Various utility functions for Irc -- read the module to
 | |
|              see what goodies are there :)
 | |
| 
 | |
| schedule.py: A schedule driver (which is automatically registered with
 | |
|              the drivers module) to run things at a particular time,
 | |
|              or at specified periods of time.
