python.mod's Introduction

python.mod

    NOTE: This project has gone largely unmaintained since 2011. I ran into
          event model issues I had ideas about fixing, but frankly this
          project just isn't a priority right now.
          
          Feel free to fork and adapt as you see fit, but be aware that the
          module is mostly non-functional.

Tcl is awful. Seriously, awful. This module allows you to write Eggdrop scripts in Python instead.

This module is still very young, immature, and untested. Still, beats writing Tcl.

Installation

Extract the python.mod directory into your Eggdrop source tree under src/mod
Edit src/mod/python.mod/Makefile to point to the proper include/lib paths for Python
From the root of the source tree, run make iconfig and enable the module
Build using make and/or make install
In eggdrop.conf use loadmodule python to enable the loadpython directive
Use loadpython to load and instantiate Python modules

Example Usage

in `eggdrop.conf`

loadmodule python      # load python.mod
set python-isolate 1   # use interpreter isolation? (0/1)
loadpython splat       # load splat.py

in `splat.py`

import eggdrop

def ctcp_splat(nick, mask, handle, dest, keyword, text):
    eggdrop.putlog("Got splat'd by %s (%s)!" % (nick, mask))
    eggdrop.putserv("PRIVMSG %s :it's not nice to throw things" % nick)

eggdrop.bind('ctcp', '-', 'splat', ctcp_splat)
eggdrop.putlog("*** splat module loaded")
