Chitchat: IRC for Bots that Get Stuff Done

Writing an IRC bot has never been easier!

import chitchat as cc

bot = cc.Bot('your.favorite.server', port=6667)

@bot.on('CONNECTED')
def bootup(*args):
    yield cc.identify(nick='Chitchat', user='v1a', password='chitchatrocks!')
    yield cc.join('#chitchatdev', '#mycoolchannel')

@bot.on(text='!hello')
def hello(prefix, command, target, message):
    return cc.privmsg(target, 'Hello, ' + prefix.nick + '!')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot.run()
