best way to make the bot PM everyone in a channel?

[chrismcfee]

I'm curious if anyone has a good method of PMing everyone in a specific channel that the bot has joined. Preferably not all at once.

If not, just PMing users in general.

I've had a bit of success getting the bot to PM people in one of my plugins.

This should get you started as an example. Note the pm=None in the function.

from util import hook

def pmUser(input, pm=None):
    pm("Hello. I am a bot and I am PMing you", USER_TO_PM)

(I'm far from an expert in this. Just answering because I think I know the answer and it's been a few months since it was asked, so why not?)

Simply set the channel in your send to the user's nick.
