the pluggable python framework for IRC bots and Twitch bots

Tutorial
--------
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
$ pip install pinhook
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00

Creating an IRC Bot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
To create the bot, just create a python file with the following:
.. code:: python
from pinhook.bot import Bot
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
bot = Bot(
channels=['#foo', '#bar'],
nickname='ph-bot',
server='irc.freenode.net'
)
bot.start()
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
2017-10-31 17:27:33 +00:00
This will start a basic bot and look for plugins in the 'plugins'
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
directory to add functionality.
2017-10-31 17:32:11 +00:00
Optional arguments are:
- ``port``: choose a custom port to connect to the server (default:
6667)
- ``ops``: list of operators who can do things like make the bot join
other channels or quit (default: empty list)
- ``plugin_dir``: directory where the bot should look for plugins
(default: "plugins")
2018-01-10 22:42:55 +00:00
- ``log_level``: string indicating logging level. Logging can be
disabled by setting this to "off". (default: "info")
2018-02-06 00:38:53 +00:00
- ``ns_pass``: this is the password to identify with nickserv
- ``server_pass``: password for the server
- ``ssl_required``: boolean to turn ssl on or off
Creating a Twitch Bot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pinhook has a baked in way to connect directly to a twitch channel
.. code:: python
from pinhook.bot import TwitchBot
2018-02-06 00:38:53 +00:00
bot = TwitchBot(
nickname='ph-bot',
channel='#channel',
token='super-secret-oauth-token'
)
bot.start()
2018-02-06 00:38:53 +00:00
This function has far less options, as the server, port, and ssl are
already handled by twitch.
Optional aguments are:
- ``ops``
- ``plugin_dir``
- ``log_level``
These options are the same for both IRC and Twitch
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
Creating plugins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2017-10-31 17:27:33 +00:00
In your chosen plugins directory ("plugins" by default) make a python
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
file with a function. You can use the ``@pinhook.plugin.register``
decorator to tell the bot the command to activate the function.
The function will need to be structured as such:
.. code:: python
import pinhook.plugin
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
@pinhook.plugin.register('!test')
def test_plugin(msg):
message = '{}: this is a test!'.format(msg.nick)
return pinhook.plugin.message(message)
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
The function will need to accept a single argument in order to accept a
``Message`` object from the bot.
2017-10-31 17:32:11 +00:00
The ``Message`` object has the following attributes:
- ``cmd``: the command that triggered the function
- ``nick``: the user who triggered the command
- ``arg``: all the trailing text after the command. This is what you
will use to get optional information for the command
- ``channel``: the channel where the command was initiated
- ``ops``: the list of bot operators
- ``botnick``: the nickname of the bot
2018-01-10 22:42:55 +00:00
- ``logger``: instance of ``Bot``'s logger
2017-10-10 20:07:09 +00:00
The plugin function **must** return one of the following in order to
2017-10-31 17:32:11 +00:00
give a response to the command:
- ``pinhook.plugin.message``: basic message in channel where command
was triggered
- ``pinhook.plugin.action``: CTCP action in the channel where command
was triggered (basically like using ``/me does a thing``)
