Description:

A very simple, very small IRC bot that uses python's socket library, it's also quite old and if you want to do anything useful with it then you should opt for library like twisted. Code like it has been floating around the internet for a while

Code:

import socket network = '127.0.0.1' port = 6667 chan = "#chan" irc = socket.socket ( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM ) irc.connect ( ( network, port ) ) print irc.recv ( 4096 ) irc.send ( 'NICK botty\r\n' ) irc.send ( 'USER botty botty botty :Python IRC\r\n' ) irc.send ( 'JOIN ' + chan + '\r\n' ) irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG ' + chan + ' :Hello World.\r\n' ) while True: data = irc.recv ( 4096 ) if data.find ( 'PING' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PONG ' + data.split() [ 1 ] + '\r\n' ) if data.find ( 'hi botty' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG ' +chan + ' :I already said hi...\r\n' ) if data.find ( 'hello botty' ) != -1: irc.send ( 'PRIVMSG ' + chan + ':I already said hi...\r\n' ) print data
