JustIRC

JustIRC is a single-file IRC library written in Python that allows you to write simple IRC bots and clients. It’s designed to be simple rather than feature-rich.

Main features

Download

The self-contained nature of JustIRC makes it easy to install and deploy it on your projects. You can install the PyPI package using pip install JustIRC. Alternatively, you can download JustIRC.py and put it in the same directory as your project.

Documentation

The library is a single file with generous use of comments. There is also some documentation on here.

Getting started

import JustIRC

bot = JustIRC.IRCConnection()

@bot.on("connect")
def connect(e):
  bot.set_nick("TestBot")
  bot.send_user_packet("TestBot")

@bot.on("welcome")
def welcome(e):
  bot.join_channel("#HelloBotTest")

@bot.on("message")
def message(e):
  message = e.message.lower()
  if "hello" in message:
    message = f"Hello, {e.sender}"
    bot.send_message(e.channel, message)

bot.connect("irc.freenode.net")
bot.run_loop()
