• install irclib and ircbot python modules with sudo apt-get install python-irclib

## Global functionning This programm is about a bot, but it actually has 3 inside : one per plateform to deal with. When the three bots work together, the programm acts like a unique bot that has as many faces as there are plateforms. There is one singleton class (one bot) per plateform to deal with : IrcBot for irc, mmbot for mattermost and SlackBot for slack. Actually, mmbot is not a class but a module. Functions defined in mm_bot, can be called like mm_bot was an object by importing the module with import mm_bot. Example : mm_bot.start(). Each bot has a start() method, and each bot runs in a thread that is separated from the main thread. When one of the three bots receives a message, it calls handle_msg() in central_unit.py. This function is in charge of routing the messages to the right destination channels. Each bot has a post_msg() method that handle_msg() calls to send messages on a specific channel of said plateform.
