How to perform a whois query? #10

How to perform a whois on a client?

For example:

When using singleserverircbot as the base class

on_pubmsg(self, c, e):
   user = nm_to_n(e.source())
   c.whois(user)

returns nothing

When you call c.whois, a whois is a message sent to the server. It's an asynchronous operation for which the response may or may not come later. I've never used this feature before, but I suspect to catch the response, you need to define 'onwhois(self, c, e)' and parse out the message. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to dig into the IRC RFC and find out what message is sent in response to a whois query, and define 'on'.

Good luck, and please report back what you find.
