LolBot

A naff IRC bot I rattled off in a hurry once, for folks stuck behind censor walls at work. Logs a channel and collects up all the URLs for later. It was refactored for Twisted in 2011, then again to use pypi irc in 2015. Has recently grown a quiz feature based on MoxQuizz, which might actually turn into something useful one day.

Installation

To get started, set up a Python virtual environment, and install the stuff in requirements.txt.

apt-get install python-virtualenv

Clone this git repository, and in the directory:

virtualenv env
env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Then you can run the bot like so:

env/bin/python lolbot.py <server[:port]> <channel> <nickname> <db>

Development

Patches welcome! Development currently happens on the New Zealand Open Source Society GitLab.
