# The net/py-irclib port

## py3-irclib-0.8.1 – Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol client library for Python

## Description

    The Python IRC library is intended to encapsulate the IRC protocol at a
    quite low level.  It provides an event-driven IRC client framework.  It
    has a fairly thorough support for the basic IRC protocol, CTCP and DCC
    connections.

    The main features of the IRC client framework are:

      * Abstraction of the IRC protocol.
      * Handles multiple simultaneous IRC server connections.
      * Handles server PONGing transparently.
      * Messages to the IRC server are done by calling methods on an IRC
        connection object.
      * Messages from an IRC server triggers events, which can be caught
        by event handlers.
      * Reading from and writing to IRC server sockets are normally done
        by an internal select() loop, but the select()ing may be done by an
        external main loop.
      * Functions can be registered to execute at specified times by the
        event-loop.
      * Decodes CTCP tagging correctly (hopefully); I haven't seen any
        other IRC client implementation that handles the CTCP specification
        subtilties.
      * A kind of simple, single-server, object-oriented IRC client class
        that dispatches events to instance methods is included.
      * DCC connection support.
