IRC Bot Behavior Bundle (IB3)

IRC bot framework using mixins to provide commonly desired functionality.

Overview

The irc python library's irc.bot.SingleServerIRCBot provides a nice base for making a new bot, but there are many common tasks needed by a robust bot that it does not handle out of the box. IB3 collects some commonly desired behaviors for a bot as mixin classes that can be used via multiple inheritance:

from ib3 import Bot
from ib3.auth import SASL
from ib3.connection import SSL
from ib3.mixins import DisconnectOnError

class TestBot(SASL, SSL, DisconnectOnError, Bot):
    pass

Installation

• python3 -m pip install --upgrade ib3 (recommended)
• python3 -m pip install . (from source distribution)
