Overview:

Misty is an asynchronous and multiprocessing IRC Bot that aims to be:

• Easily extendable with user based modules called Isles.
• Powerful message distribution resembling Django’s URL dispatcher aka Lighthouse.
• Quick, Friendly, and as non IRC Botty as possible.

Misty was inspired by Phenny,
and DjangoBot.

Coming Soon:

• Searching via Django.
• Join multiple channels.
• More Core Isles.

Requirements:

• Twisted
• Misty has only been tested on OSX 10.6 and python 2.6

Installation:

1. Clone repo in desired directory.
2. Duplicate and rename Misty/settings.py to settings_local.py
3. Change Misty/settings_local.py to match your IRC server.
4. Type python Misty/misty_core.py in cmd line to start Misty.

Extending:

1. Make a IsleName.py in the directory you set with PATH_TO_ISLES in Misty/settings.py
2. Make sure the IsleName.py has execute permission.
3. Make sure IsleName.py has #!/usr/bin/env python
4. Edit Misty/lighthouse.py to include your new Isle.
5. If Misty is running, reload the list of Isles with {nickname}:reload in IRC
