pybot

pybot is an IRC-bot focused on extendability through plugins written in python.

Setting it up

First, make sure you have Python <= 2.7 installed. An example of how to check if it's installed down below (note that the information you have may not be exactly the same as the info here).

$ python2 --version
  Python 2.7.10

Second, get a copy of pybot by running:

$ git clone https://github.com/froozen/pybot.git
$ cd pybot

Next, you need to configure pybot. To do this, simply open config.json in your favorite editor:
$ vim config.json

Now you need to add a server connection like this:

{
    "servers": [
        {
            "name": "freenode",
            "password": "password_here",
            "nick": "pybot",
            "host": "irc.freenode.net",
            "port": 6667,
            "channels": [ "#python" ]
        }
    ]
}

The bot will now connect to irc.freenode.net on port 6667, log in as pybot and join the #python channel.
It is possible to have multiple servers and multiple channels per server, separated with commas.
The port, password, and channels configuration values are optional.

NOTE:
Don't use the same name-value twice, as it is used as filename for server data files.

Now you can simply run:
$ ./main.py

Adding plugins

Adding plugins is rather simple. To do that, you simply copy the plugin into the plugins folder and restart the bot.
Some nice plugins that you might want can be found in pybot-plugins.

If you are interested in writing your own plugins, make sure to take a look at the wiki.
