PhoenixBotty

IRC Bot, derived from Pallaber Bot, Architectonic rework

Designed for non-technical channels

Usage

Requirements

Python 3.5
pip
wikipedia package (can be installed using pip; tested with version 1.4.0)
virtualenv (optional)

Running the Bot

The direct way:

# Install all dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# First load all needed strings into the database
# Per default german is used. If you want another language you need to 
# add an language file and modify the script.
# Later it will be refactored, so it uses arguments
python ReadInternationalization.py
# Create a configuration file by having a look at config-example.txt
# Start the bot using the given config file.
python Main.py --config ./config.txt

Using faust-bot-run.sh. This script creates and uses a virtual environment, therefore the optional requirement virtualenv is required

# Make the script executable
chmod u+x ./faust-bot-run.sh
# To display all possible options
./script -h
> Simple script to manage a single faust-bot instance.
>  -h  displays this help message
>  -s  starts the bot, if it is not running yet
>  -e  exits/stops the bot
>  -r  restarts the bot
>  -u  updates the bots code
# Start the bot.
# The script creates an virtualenv, installs all pip dependencies and starts the Bot in the background
# The pid of the Bot-process is saved in .pid.
# Stdout is redirected to out.txt 
./script -s

Contribution

Have a look into our issues. Some are explizitly marked as help wanted or For Beginners. If you're new to programming the last one would be a good point to begin with. Of course you're also free to choose your own issue or task to work on. If you have any question you're also welcome to join us in #faust-bot on freenode.

Before creating a pull request please test your code. Untested, obviously buggy code will - of course - be rejected. Since we're programming in python please hold on PEP-08.

Branching

Currently we use the main-branch for development and the stable version is represented with the stable-branch. Please create an own feature-branch if you want to contribute. This will make it easier to merge.
