What thoughts in particular would you like to know about? So far, I haven’t attempted to try use data from WHOIS or WHO, mainly due to the way that the data is returned (As a separate event, which is dealt with in a separate handler, so I can’t get at it from the handler that actually sent the WHO(IS)+ )

Mine’s written in Perl (Obviously. ), and does have plugins so that it can be extended. However, whilst you can currently load plugins, they can’t really do that much. :p I have some idea of how to make them add handlers so that they can listen for events, but if they want to add commands they’re on their own for now. A side effect of insufficient planning early on.

Altogether now… “Proper Planning Prevents…”

I’d like to know what your thoughts are on creating an IRC bot, in terms of user and channel management, identification, etc. Ideally I’d like it to be as hassle-free as possible and have the bot recognise names that are identified (ie logged in) with Nickserv – this is possible via reading flags that are set on the reply to the WHO command.
My bot’s written in Python, with dynamic loading, reloading and removal of modules (ie plugins). Almost everything is a plugin and can be changed and reloaded at runtime. I’m using a generic IRC module for Python, but considering going a bit lower-level for my own purposes.
Contact me if you want more into.

Comment on Programming issues. by Tamber

Okay, after a little more research; I’ve settled on using python. The amount of effort that would have to go into writing in C or C++ would, at least in my opinion, not be balanced out by potential gains such as multi-threading or speed of execution.

The computer is fast, it can make up for python being that little bit slower; and the amount of low-level garbage I’d have to deal with in C/C++ would mean I’d be spending more time dealing with things *other* than the fun bits of programming an IRC bot.

Which is worth more? My time, or the computer’s time? (Personally, I think the former.)
