GOZERBOT 0.99.0 RELEASED
Hello world and everybody ! i'm pleased to announce the release of GOZERBOT 0.99.0, the first in a series of releases that are supposed to lead to a proper 1.0 release for GOZERBOT. The intention is to get a 1.0 version of GOZERBOT available for users that still use this bot, got almost 2000 download of 0.9.2 so its worth to support all those users with a release they can build on. I dont have the intention to develop GOZERBOT any further beyond that, that's what JSONBOT is all about, so keep in mind these are pure maintenance releases. 2 major changes crept into this release, namely: * no more seperate gozerplugs package, its all wrapped into 1 thing. The gozerplugs package has find its way under the gplugs directory in the main distro so no more seperate installing of plugins. * SQLAlchemy is now optional, so GOZERBOT can run on older versions of debian etc. Since this leads to less dependancies GOZERBOT is easier to install. note: there is not going to be a seperate all distro as those dependancies are already included. SQLAlchemy is made optional by providing plugins that use direct queries on the database, this is the default. You can change operations back to SA by setting db_driver = alchemy in gozerdata/ mainconfig. The intention is to release a new version of GOZERBOT every week or so, until its stable for a long period of time. When its time i'll cut of the 1.0 release ;] urls: * download tar - http://code.google.com/p/gozerbot/downloads/list * mercurial clone - hg clone https://gozerbot.googlecode.com/hg mybot * please report bugs at http://code.google.com/p/gozerbot/issues/entry especially if you are already running a GOZERBOT and run into problems. * path to the futire - http://jsonbot.org read the provided README for instructions on how to get the bot running. About GOZERBOT: GOZERBOT is a channel bot supporting conversations in irc channels and jabber conference rooms. It is mainly used to send notifications (RSS, nagios, etc.) and to have custom commands made for the channel. More then just a channel bot GOZERBOT aims to provide a platform for the user to program his own bot and make it into something thats usefull. This is done with a plugin structure that makes it easy to program your own plugins. GOZERBOT comes with some batteries included. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/

GOZERBOT 0.9.2 RELEASED
Hello new world ! i’m glad to announce the release of version GOZERBOT 0.9.2, a bot that has been declared dead but has arrived from the pits of hell to serve our people here well ;] Discovered that SQLAlchemy has been fixed in such a way that it was easy to resurrect the thing, and release a new version of it. It’s not my intention to still maintain GOZERBOT as i prefer users to switch to JSONBOT but this switch is to be done in such a way that GOZERBOT users can port their data to JSONBOT in a proper way. Having GOZERBOT still up and running makes it easier for me to write the converting software as a GOZERBOT plugin, in which case i have better access to the data then when i have to access it from the outside. Ofcourse the conversion plugin is still to be written, but i hope that current GOZERBOT users can wait a little while before that is in place ;] You can get the new version from http://gozerbot.googlecode.com. For those who want to have a look at the future check http://jsonbot.org Well thats new from a happy camper that suddenly finds his path ahead.

Now you should be able to do the following: 1) visit the website at http://yourbotname.appspot.com 2) add the bot as Jabber buddy at yourbotn...@appspot.com 3) the same as wave bot 4) on joining a wave the bot loads a gadget from http://yourbotname.appspot.com/gadget.xml 5) manifest to add your bot to the waves newwave menu use http://yourbotname.appspot.com/feeder.xml JSONBOT is open source (MIT license) and free to clone when needed, patches welcomed though ;] home: http://jsonbot.googlecode.com/ demo: http://jsonbot.appspot.com/ wave/xmpp: json...@appspot.com contact: bth...@gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
GZRBOT 0.1 released
Hi world ! First of all happy christmas and a happy new year to all of you. I want to release GZRBOT to the world. This is a rename of the CMNDBOT bot, since this name matches the one of GOZERBOT the best and thats what this bot is best described .. GOZERBOT on the Google Application Engine. So this is really CMNDBOT 0.1 after BETA1 and BETA2, but then renamed to GZRBOT. Most of all GZRBOT is there for its code and reuse of it is highly recommended. I made a script which makes it easy to clone gozerbot and rename it so you can run your own bot off the GZRBOT code. GZRBOT has a plugin system that lets you program your own plugin and provide you a way to add custom functionality to your bot. Both writing commands and reacting on events through callbacks is supported. A live web demo of GZRBOT can be seen at http://gzrbot.appspot.com. For wave or jabber (gtalk or any other jabber client) add gzr...@appspot.com to your contactlist or join me on this wave: GZRBOT 0.1 released Source code and documentation (still needs to be written) is available at http://gzrbot.googlecode.com If you have any question about GZRBOT you can reach me at bth...@gmail.com Have fun with it ! ;] Bart -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
cmndbot 0.1 beta 1 released
So once again i bite the bullet because i can no longer wait on going
public with this.
I'm pleased to announce CMNDBOT 0.1 BETA1 to the world as this is the
first released of my port of GOZERBOT to the Google Application
Engine, enabling it on wave, web and xmpp.
I'll paste here the README to explain what it does:
CMNDBOT is a port of gozerbot to google wave platform. GOZERBOT needed
to
be completely rewritten as programs running on google application
engine
(GAE) run within a CGI model which means that the bot get loaded on
every
request (unless its cached). Core functionality is available right now
but
most plugins need to be ported still. Besides wave the bot also
supports web
and jabber (XMPP) access.
this is the code that is being run by the cmndbot.appspot.com bot and
is
free code (BSD license). you can clone it to run your own cmndbot or
just to read how things are being done. no fear in reading cmndbot
code !
as the name says cmndbot allows you to execute commands that you can
program
easily through the use of plugins.
example:
from gozerlib.commands import cmnds
def handle_hello(bot, event):
event.reply(hello %s % event.userhost)
cmnds.add('hello', handle_hello, 'USER')
as of now a few gozerbot plugins are being ported to cmndbot, namely:
* eight ball
* ipcalc
* todo
* wikipedia
* infoitem
* gcalc
* RSS
other plugins will follow but the focus is now mainly on the bots
core.
CMNDBOT is accessible at http://cmndbot.appspot.com (WEB) or
cmnd...@appspot.com (WAVE/XMPP).
A gadget is also in the works at http://cmndbot.appspot.com/cmnd.xml
but it only works with google chrome for now .. my javascript skills
are very *kuch* young ;]
actualy this code is still young as docs are mostely missing and the
bot really needs to be tested, but thats what this release is for,
rememer this is still version 0.1 !
code is at http://cmndbot.googlecode.com/hg
I hope people are interested in developing this bot with me, if you do
you can contact me at bth...@gmail.com or bth...@googlewave.com
