phenny

This is phenny, a Python IRC bot. Originally written by Sean B. Palmer, it has been ported to Python3.

This version comes with many new modules, IPv6 support, TLS support, and unit tests.

Compatibility with existing phenny modules has been mostly retained, but they will need to be updated to run on Python3 if they do not already. All of the core modules have been ported, removed, or replaced.

Requirements

• Python 3.5+
• python-requests

Installation

1. Run ./phenny - this creates a default config file
2. Edit ~/.phenny/default.py
3. Run ./phenny - this now runs phenny with your settings

Enjoy!

Testing

You will need the Python3 versions of python-nose and python-mock. To run the tests, simply run nosetests3.

Security

You may want to disable pester. It can be used to crash the bot with no admin permissions needed.

<botname>: pester <botname> tell <anyone> <anything>

You may also want to disable update. Due to a known bug, spamming .update repeatedly makes the process go into the background.
