I'd like to write an AIM bot in Python. I found and tried

I wrote to the author a week ago, but never got a reply. It could be as
simple as changing the server addresses in toc.py, currently:
TOC_SERV_AUTH = ("login.oscar.aol.com", 29999 )
TOC_SERV = ( "toc.oscar.aol.com", 9898 )
...but I don't understand AIM well enough to know the correct values (and
was rather hoping that I wouldn't have to).
Does anyone know how to get Py-TOC to work, or have another Python TOC
implementation to suggest?
You need an OSCAR-based AIM library. AOL discontinued TOC support several
years ago. No TOC-based client can work on the AIM network.
Twisted includes a (somewhat crufty) OSCAR implementation. There are
probably also other Python OSCAR implementations.
