asyncio-based rfc2812-compliant IRC Client (3.8+)

bottom isn't a kitchen-sink library. Instead, it provides a consistent API with a small surface area, tuned for performance and ease of extension. Similar to the routing style of bottle.py, hooking into events is one line.

Installation

::

pip install bottom

Getting Started

(the full documentation is available here: http://bottom-docs.readthedocs.io/)

Create an instance:

.. code-block:: python

import asyncio
import bottom

host = 'chat.freenode.net'
port = 6697
ssl = True

NICK = "bottom-bot"
CHANNEL = "#bottom-dev"

bot = bottom.Client(host=host, port=port, ssl=ssl)

Send nick/user/join when connection is established:

.. code-block:: python

@bot.on('CLIENT_CONNECT')
async def connect(**kwargs):
    bot.send('NICK', nick=NICK)
    bot.send('USER', user=NICK,
             realname='https://github.com/numberoverzero/bottom')

    # Don't try to join channels until the server has
    # sent the MOTD, or signaled that there's no MOTD.
    done, pending = await asyncio.wait(
        [bot.wait("RPL_ENDOFMOTD"),
         bot.wait("ERR_NOMOTD")],
        loop=bot.loop,
        return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED
    )

    # Cancel whichever waiter's event didn't come in.
    for future in pending:
        future.cancel()

    bot.send('JOIN', channel=CHANNEL)

Respond to ping:

.. code-block:: python

@bot.on('PING')
def keepalive(message, **kwargs):
    bot.send('PONG', message=message)

Echo messages (channel and direct):

.. code-block:: python

@bot.on('PRIVMSG')
def message(nick, target, message, **kwargs):
    """ Echo all messages """
    # don't echo self
    if nick == NICK: return
    # respond directly
    if target == NICK: target = nick
    bot.send("PRIVMSG", target=target, message=message)

Connect and run the bot forever:

.. code-block:: python

bot.loop.create_task(bot.connect())
bot.loop.run_forever()

API

The full API consists of 1 class, with 8 methods:

.. code-block:: python

# manage connections

async Client.connect()
async Client.disconnect()

# send, receive, and wait for rfc-2812 messages

Client.send(command, **kwargs)
@Client.on(event)
Client.trigger(event, **kwargs)
async Client.wait(event)

# send and receive anything newline-terminated,
# provided for eg. IRCv3 extensions

Client.send_raw(message)
Client.handle_raw(message)
