the title says all, but there's more infos. i want to build a bot cabable of running on multiple channels at the same time, i thinked of a way to do that but i first want to know if this lib is capable of handling multiple channels already

It's been a while since you asked, but I figure I might as well put in my 2 cents from playing with this library for a couple of days.

To answer your question of is it capable, yes, its technically capable. The problem is that is isn't implemented.

https://github.com/PetterKraabol/Twitch-Python/blob/60b52bd8ce35136bb0c3e640616726077ca7c15a/twitch/chat/chat.py#L32-L34 By adding another self.irc.join_channel("channel_name") you can connect to another channel and receive messaged from it.

This means that if you want it to identify which channel it comes from, you need to do some more parsing of the PRIVMSG message itself to determine the channel. Technically shouldn't be too hard.

EDIT: Something else I would recommend though is possible just using multiple Chat objects in order to connect to multiple channels.

i've "fixed" this problem with my own code, so i'm closing this
