• Runs on Python 3

• Fully controlled from IRC
• Fully compatable with existing skybot plugins
• Easily extendable

• Extremely stable, has been running for literally over a decade
  • Project is 15+ years old .

Taigabot runs only on Python 3.9 or 3.10. See install.md for ubuntu or alpine instructions.

Typically pip downloads whl files for lxml, bs4 and requests, so you don't need a compiler.

Some plugins require extra python packages, more information can be found on install.md § specific dependencies.

Many plugins require API keys from different services. Currently we have 34 api keys.

Once you have installed the required dependencies, you need to create a config file:

cp config.default config
vim config
python3 bot.py

It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment.

wednesday (the dude who kept the bot running) went fucking missing and he stopped mantaining the bot and accepting merge requests, so i just kinda took over.
