Summary : Cross-platform IRC bot written in Python
Description :
Supybot is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC bot.
It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots. It
includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling access
to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins providing around
400 actual commands.

This is a wizard to help you start running supybot. What it will
do is create the necessary config files based on the options you
select here. So hold on tight and be ready to be interrogated :)
First of all, we can bold the questions you're asked so you can
easily distinguish the mostly useless blather (like this) from
the questions that you actually have to answer.
Would you like to try this bolding? [y/n] (default: y)
Do you see this in bold? [y/n]
Sorry, that response was not an option.
Do you see this in bold? [y/n] y
Great!
We've got some preliminary things to get out of the way before we
can really start asking you questions that directly relate to
what your bot is going to be like.
We want to know if you consider yourself an advanced Supybot user
because some questions are just utterly boring and useless for
new users. Others might not make sense unless you've used Supybot
for some time.
Are you an advanced Supybot user? [y/n] (default: n)
Your bot needs to create some directories in order to store the
various log, config, and data files.
Where would you like to create these directories? (default: .)
Good! We're done with the directory stuff.
Now we're going to ask you things that actually relate to the bot
you'll be running.
First, we need to know the name of the network you'd like to
connect to. Not the server host, mind you, but the name of the
network. If you plan to connect to irc.freenode.net, for
instance, you should answer this question with 'freenode'
(without the quotes).
What IRC network will you be connecting to? freenode
What server would you like to connect to? irc.freenode.net
Found irc.freenode.net (no network available).
IRC Servers almost always accept connections on port 6667. They
can, however, accept connections anywhere their admin feels like
he wants to accept connections from.
Does this server require connection on a non-standard port? [y/
n] (default: n)
What nick would you like your bot to use? crimsonfubot
Some servers require a password to connect to them. Most public
servers don't. If you try to connect to a server and for some
reason it just won't work, it might be that you need to set a
password.
Do you want to set such a password? [y/n] (default: n)
Of course, having an IRC bot isn't the most useful thing in the
world unless you can make that bot join some channels.
Do you want your bot to join some channels when he connects? [y/
n] (default: y)
Separate channels with spaces. If the channel is locked with a
key, follow the channel name with the key separated by a comma.
For example: #supybot-bots #mychannel,mykey #otherchannel
What channels? (default: ) #crimsonfu
Beginning configuration for Admin...
Done!

Done!
Now we're going to run you through plugin configuration. There's
a variety of plugins in supybot by default, but you can create
and add your own, of course. We'll allow you to take a look at
the known plugins' descriptions and configure them if you like
what you see.
Would you like to look at plugins individually? [y/n] y
Next comes your opportunity to learn more about the plugins that
are available and select some (or all!) of them to run in your
bot. Before you have to make a decision, of course, you'll be
able to see a short description of the plugin and, if you choose,
an example session with the plugin. Let's begin.
What plugin would you like to look at? [Alias/Anonymous/
AutoMode/BadWords/ChannelLogger/ChannelStats/Ctcp/Dict/Dunno/
Factoids/Filter/Format/Games/Google/Herald/Internet/Karma/
Lart/Later/Limiter/Math/MoobotFactoids/Network/News/

Web] Google
Accesses Google for various things.
Would you like to load this plugin? [y/n] (default: y)
Beginning configuration for Google...
The Google plugin has the functionality to watch for URLs that
match a specific pattern. (We call this a snarfer) When supybot
sees such a URL, it will parse the web page for information and
reply with the results. Google has two available snarfers: Google
Groups link snarfing and a google search snarfer.
Do you want the Google Groups link snarfer enabled by default?
[y/n] n
Do you want the Google search snarfer enabled by default? [y/
n] y
Done!
Would you like add another plugin? [y/n] n
Although supybot offers a supybot-adduser script, with which you
can add users to your bot's user database, it's *very* important
that you have an owner user for you bot.
Would you like to add an owner user for your bot? [y/n]
(default: y)
What should the owner's username be? pdurbin
What should the owner's password be?
Re-enter password:
Of course, when you're in an IRC channel you can address the bot
by its nick and it will respond, if you give it a valid command
(it may or may not respond, depending on what your config
variable replyWhenNotCommand is set to). But your bot can also
respond to a short "prefix character," so instead of saying "bot:
do this," you can say, "@do this" and achieve the same effect. Of
course, you don't *have* to have a prefix char, but if the bot
ends up participating significantly in your channel, it'll ease
things.
Would you like to set the prefix char(s) for your bot? [y/n]
(default: y)
Enter any characters you want here, but be careful: they should
be rare enough that people don't accidentally address the bot
(simply because they'll probably be annoyed if they do address
the bot on accident). You can even have more than one. I
(jemfinch) am quite partial to @, but that's because I've been
using it since my ocamlbot days.
What would you like your bot's prefix character(s) to be? @
There are a lot of options we didn't ask you about simply because
we'd rather you get up and running and have time left to play
around with your bot. But come back and see us! When you've
played around with your bot enough to know what you like, what
you don't like, what you'd like to change, then take a look at
your configuration file when your bot isn't running and read the
comments, tweaking values to your heart's desire.
All done! Your new bot configuration is crimsonfubot.conf. If
you're running a *nix based OS, you can probably start your bot
with the command line "supybot crimsonfubot.conf". If you're not
running a *nix or similar machine, you'll just have to start it
like you start all your other Python scripts.
