A small selection of IRC bots
=================================

simplebot.py is a really minimal bot (meant as a proof of concept and starting point) written in standard library python 3. The source is from IRC Hacks, Paul Mutton, 2004.

ircpipebot and reversebot make use of the irc module, installable with:

    pip3 install irc



### Pipebot



Testing

    python -u ircpipebot.py | python -u pipebot/echo_split.py


Closing the loop

    mkfifo pipe.fifo
    cat pipe.fifo | python -u ircpipebot.py > pipe.fifo


    cat pipe.fifo | python -u ircpipebot.py | python -u pipebot/echo_split.py > pipe.fifo

or

    cat pipe.fifo | \
    python -u ircpipebot.py | \
    python -u pipebot/echo_split.py \
    > pipe.fifo
