This is a project I have been working on for quite a while now and I am very glad to say that it is more or less finished. What inspired this was creating a "BaseBot" for #stark that would help people out spitting out information and doing calculations. As it progressed I decided I wanted to clean it up and write a framework in python that would make it easy to add on to the Uxie (the basebot) and maintain clean code. I haven't written Uxie in the framework yet, since I haven't bothered to write my pokemon data package yet, but I'm still releasing this framework.

It is, as far as I know, the only event based IRC framework for python3.

The files for the project and all the source code can be found here.

An example of the simplicity of this framework is as follows:

Code:
[rory@localhost ~]$ python3
Python 3.1.1 (r311:74480, Aug 24 2009, 15:50:43) 
[GCC 4.4.0 20090506 (Red Hat 4.4.0-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pierce.irc import make_project
>>> make_project('uxie')
>>> 
[rory@localhost ~]$ cd uxie
[rory@localhost uxie]$ ls
packages  run.py  settings.py
The project is now created. As you can see the make_project function created a packages folder, a run.py file, and a settings.py file.

I then went and created a file in the packages folder called uxie.py and wrote the following in it:

Code:
import re

from pierce.irc.templates import Handler, Package

class MyHandler(Handler):
    # have the handler respond to messages
    event = ['privmsg']
    
    # only on the channel #rorytest!
    chan = ['#rorytest']

    # Any message must match the following regexp for the handler to be called
    regexp = [re.compile('(Uxie: )?What do you do?', re.IGNORECASE)]
    
    # what to do when the handler is called
    def __call__(self, event):
        # message the event channel
        event.chan.msg("I don't do shit yet!")

# a package with my handler in it
class Uxie(Package):
    contents = [ MyHandler ]
and settings.py (most of which was already there):

Code:
# Server and port to connect to
server = 'irc.synirc.net'
port = 6667

# Nick, user, and realname to connect with
# Leave user None to use the same nick and username
nick = 'Uxie'
user = None
realname = 'A Pierce IRC Bot'

# Packages to add to the connection
from packages.uxie import Uxie  # importing the package I just created
from pierce.irc.packages.printer import Printer
from pierce.irc.packages.extras import AutoIdentify
packages = [ Uxie, Printer, AutoIdentify ] # all packages here will be added

# Channels to automatically join on connection
auto_join = ['#rorytest']

# Passwords for specific nicks
passwords = {'uxie': 'XXXXXXXX'}
Then all i need to do is:
Code:
[rory@localhost uxie]$ python3 run.py connect
and uxie runs with the following output:
Code:

As you can see at the end of the log, Uxie responds to the handler I just wrote.

In the near future I plan to do the following:


  • Finish my pokemon data package
  • Write Uxie
  • Write some fun game bots for #fluodome
  • Write logging packages and other extras for the framework
  • Make settings.py and run.py a bit better
  • Documentation and a tutorial

Sneak preview of what the Uxie source will be like, with descriptive comments.

Stayed up pretty late finishing up the pkdata package. It's not completely done yet, but enough for me to be able to sleep well. The new !damage command is going to be far more "customizable" than it has been in the past. For example you will be able to set things like: weather=sun attacker_status=paralysis modifiers="light screen, flash fire"

Had a little bit of time today, so I finished up my pokemon data library. It will be paired with Pierce to make Uxie extremely powerful and fast. I decided to go with sqlite3 whose library is installed with python3 by default. I was originally going to use the shoddybattle xml files, but they do not have as much data in them as the database files I converted from veekun's mysql pokedex dump. It would seem all that is left now is using the IRC framework with this pokemon data library to create Uxie. Shouldn't be too much work, the only problem is me finding time to do it.

Here is an example of how the pokemon library is used.

Code:
>>> import pokelib.dp.pokemon
Generating Pokémon
...Generating #1-100
...Generating #101-200
...Generating #201-300
...Generating #301-400
...Generating #401-500
>>> Charizard = pokelib.dp.pokemon.get.by_name('charizard') # Get the Charizard base class
>>> Charizard.types
('Fire', 'Flying')
>>> Charizard.abilities
('Blaze',)
>>> Charizard.weight
905.0
>>> Charizard.height
17.0
>>> Charizard.bases
(78, 84, 78, 109, 85, 100)
>>> char = Charizard() # Create a Charizard with default attributes
>>> char.ivs
(31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 31)
>>> char.evs
(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
>>> char.nature
'Hardy'
>>> char2 = Charizard(nature='brave') # Create a brave Charizard
>>> char2.nature
'Brave'
>>> char.get_stats()
(297, 204, 192, 254, 206, 236)
>>> char2.get_stats()
(297, 224, 192, 254, 206, 212)
