These are the interfaces of some of the objects you'll deal with if
|
|
you code for Supybot.
|
|
|
|
ircmsgs.IrcMsg:
|
|
This is the object that represents an IRC message. It has
|
|
several methods and attributes. The most important thing
|
|
about this class, however, is that it *is* hashable, and thus
|
|
*cannot* be modified. Do not change any attributes; any code
|
|
that modifies an IRC message is *broken* and should not
|
|
exist.
|
|
|
|
Interesting Methods:
|
|
__init__: One of the more complex initializers in
|
|
a class. It can be used in three different ways:
|
|
|
|
1) It can be given a string, as one received from
|
|
the server, which it will then parse into its
|
|
separate components and instantiate the class
|
|
with those components as attributes.
|
|
|
|
2) It can be given a command, some (optional)
|
|
arguments, and a (optional) prefix, and will
|
|
instantiate the class with those components as
|
|
attributes.
|
|
|
|
3) It can be given, in addition to any of the
|
|
above arguments, a 'msg' keyword argument that
|
|
will use the attributes of msg as defaults.
|
|
This exists to make it easier to copy
|
|
messages, since the class is immutable.
|
|
|
|
__str__: This returns the message in a string form
|
|
suitable for sending to a server.
|
|
|
|
__repr__: This returns the message in a form
|
|
suitable for eval(), assuming the name "IrcMsg" is
|
|
in your namespace and is bound to this class.
|
|
|
|
Interesting Attributes:
|
|
This is the meat of this class. These are
|
|
generally what you'll be looking at with IrcMsgs.
|
|
|
|
command: This is the command of the IrcMsg --
|
|
PRIVMSG, NOTICE, WHOIS, etc.
|
|
|
|
args: This is a tuple of the arguments to the
|
|
IrcMsg. Some messages have arguments, some don't,
|
|
depending on what command they are. You are, of
|
|
course, always assured that args exists and is a
|
|
tuple, though it might be empty.
|
|
|
|
prefix: This is the hostmask of the person/server
|
|
the message is from. In general, you won't be
|
|
setting this on your outgoing messages, but
|
|
incoming messages will always have one. This is
|
|
the whole hostmask; if the message was received
|
|
from a server, it'll be the server's hostmask; if
|
|
the message was received from a user, it'll be the
|
|
whole user hostmask. In that case, however, it's
|
|
also parsed out into the nick/user/host
|
|
attributes, which are probably more useful to
|
|
check for many purposes.
|
|
|
|
nick: If the message was sent by a user, this will
|
|
be the nick of the user. If it was sent by a
|
|
server, this will be the server's name (something
|
|
like calvino.freenode.net or similar).
|
|
|
|
user: If the message was sent by a user, this will
|
|
be the user string of the user -- what they put
|
|
into their IRC client for their "full name." If
|
|
it was sent by a server, it'll be the server's
|
|
name, again.
|
|
|
|
host: If the message was sent by a user, this will
|
|
be the host portion of their hostmask. If it was
|
|
sent by a server, it'll be the server's name (yet
|
|
again :))
|
|
|
|
|
|
irclib.Irc:
|
|
This is the object to handle everything about IRC except the
|
|
actual connection to the server itself.
|
|
|
|
Interesting attributes:
|
|
nick: the current nick of the bot.
|
|
prefix: the current prefix of the bot.
