I'm currently writing a IRC bot for fun...here is the code that I have writen so far:
import sys import socket import string import time HOST="irc.freenode.net" PORT=6667 NICK="PapaJorgio_" IDENT="Papa" REALNAME="Jorgio" CHANNEL = "#holder" buffer = "" clientsock=socket.socket() clientsock.connect((HOST, PORT)) clientsock.send("NICK %s\r\n" % NICK) clientsock.send("USER %s %s bla :%s\r\n" % (IDENT, HOST, REALNAME)) clientsock.send("JOIN %s\r\n" % (CHANNEL)) clientsock.send("PRIVMSG #holder :There's a new AI in town foo.\r\n") while 1: buffer=buffer+clientsock.recv(1024) temp=string.split(buffer, "\n") print buffer buffer=temp.pop() for line in temp: print "|%s|" % repr(line) line=string.rstrip(line) if "-part" in line: clientsock.send("PART #holder :I am leet.\r\n") elif "hello" in line: clientsock.send("PRIVMSG #holder :Hey...\r\n") elif "BlueInferno" in line: clientsock.send("PRIVMSG #holder :OH NOES! >:o\r\n") elif "-whois" in line: query = line.split()[4] clientsock.send("WHOIS eff.org %s\r\n" % query) buffer2 = clientsock.recv(1024) clientsock.send("PRIVMSG #holder :%s\r\n" % buffer2) elif "-nick" in line: nick = line.split()[4] clientsock.send("NICK %s\n" % nick) elif "PING" in line: clientsock.send("PONG %s\r\n" % line[1]) Now...it is in a very early stage (started writing it maybe 45 minutes ago). But, I have a few questions regarding some of the code that is not working. One of the things I ham having a big trouble with is the -whois part. I know that I cannot assign a variable like that (Since socket's don't really work that way..I believe?). Basically I want to it run a -whois query and print it to the channel..but I can not get it to print it to the channel.Another problem is the 'PING' part. I have no clue why it doesn't respond with PONG...it should work. I am our of ideas >:(. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your time/help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
