PyMoronBot

A modular IRC bot with extensive aliasing capabilities, written in Python.

Initially a language port/rewrite of MoronBot (C#), but now somewhat diverged.

Features

Alias any of the following to create new commands on-the-fly, and then alias those aliases to create even more
Use Slurp to extract data from HTML/XML
Use Sub or Chain to link multiple modules together
- and use Var to store data for use within the same command (eg, a URL you want to slurp multiple times)
Follows URLs posted in chat to see where they lead (following all redirects), responding with the page title and final hostname
- with specialised follows to get extra relevant information from Imgur, KickStarter, Steam, Twitch, Twitter, and YouTube links
Recognizes sed-like patterns in chat and replaces the most recent match in the last 20 messages
Also recognizes *correction style corrections and replaces the most likely candidate word in that user's previous message
AutoPasteEE detects when single responses are longer than ~2 IRC messages, and submits them to paste.ee instead, replacing the response with a link
Consistent help for any module via the Help module
And many more (take a look in modules)

All of these features can be individually enabled/disabled by loading or unloading the module that provides them

Install Python 2.7+
Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/TyranicMoron/PyMoronBot.git
Create a virtualenv to run the bot in, and activate it
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all the requirements
Edit _defaults.yaml to set the bot owner and other details
Copy server.yaml.example and create a server config (you'll want one of these per IRC network)

Activate your virtualenv, and run python start.py -c configs/server.yaml

You can run python start.py -h for help with the command line args
