install from github (recommended):
pip install -e git+git://github.com/coleifer/irc.git#egg=irckit
install using pypi:
pip install irckit
install dependencies:
pip install gevent (for botnet) pip install boto (for botnet's EC2 launcher) pip install httplib2 (for some of the bots)
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/irckit isn't up-to-date with the code in this repo but the version numbers are the same, this caused some confusion for me when running the example bot on a particular irc server -- irc.udderweb.com. I expected the bot to "just work" (as it does on freenode), but it wouldn't join the channel and it wasn't obvious at first why not. It ended up being related the commit 2725e49, which isn't on the PyPI side.
This is an odd "issue" as the github code is fine but I thought this was the best place to mention this, please let me know if this isn't the case.
When i start boss.py it gives me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi there,
just tried to launch boss on couple server with debian. I did installed all requirements but still I'm getting this:

Disregard, the text below, I've submitted a pull request - #16
In order to use the redis bot on the IRC server I frequent I had to patch the library so that it uses SSL/TLS. I think it would be useful to add this functionality to the library but I was wondering what approach to take - let the programmer specify whether they want to use SSL, auto-detect based on port (6697), or maybe both
https://github.com/coleifer/irc/blob/master/irc.py#L108
Also because when you emit messages you strip the leading # as well there is no way to tell the difference between a #chan and ##chan.
I think it would be much better just to return True or False and let the caller decide what to do if the connection was unsuccessful - retry a bit later, try another server, or indeed exit.
