=============================
IRC Bot Behavior Bundle (IB3)

IRC bot framework using mixins to provide commonly desired functionality.

Overview

The irc_ python library's irc.bot.SingleServerIRCBot provides a nice
base for making a new bot, but there are many common tasks needed by a robust
bot that it does not handle out of the box. IB3 collects some commonly desired
behaviors for a bot as mixin_ classes that can be used via multiple inheritance_::

from ib3 import Bot
from ib3.auth import SASL
from ib3.connection import SSL
from ib3.mixins import DisconnectOnError

class TestBot(SASL, SSL, DisconnectOnError, Bot):
    pass

Installation

• python3 -m pip install --upgrade ib3 (recommended)
• python3 -m pip install . (from source distribution)

License

IB3 is licensed under the GPL-3.0-or-later_ license.
