This is PyIRC, an IRC library designed to be flexible, extensible, well- documented, and easy to use. It is aimed at not only beginners and those who don't want to spend too much time writing boilerplate to get something going¸ but also the advanced user who knows exactly what they're doing.

It is entirely written in Python 3 with only optional external dependencies.

Written by people who have been involved in IRC daemon coding for over 7 years, this library has been designed with standards compliance in mind. This library aims to follow RFC1459, RFC2812, and IRCv3

The following standards should be fully implemented:

• RFC1459 (though not all commands are handled because they are beyond the scope of the library)
• RFC2812 (the different USER syntax is not well-supported, and is not used)
• IRCv3.0
• IRCv3.1

The following standards are not fully implemented:

• IRCv3.2 (tags and some capabilities should work, but most capabilities are not presently implemented; there are also few implementations right now).

The library presently supports the following using an extensions system, meaning all of these are optional:

• Channel autojoin
• Autorejoin on kick
• STARTTLS (automatic SSL negotiation)
• IRCv3 Message tags, though not thoroughly tested
• SASL (PLAIN auth only right now - more methods are coming)
• CAP - dynamic capabilities negotiation
• Scheduled events (aka timers)
• Ability to hook any numeric/command
• Ability to hook connect, disconnect, and a variety of other higher-level events

See the TODO for the list of planned features.

PyIRC 3 is designed to be wholly uncoupled from the underlying I/O subsystem whilst providing easy ways to ingest events. It is designed to work with any reasonably well-written event system.

This library is not thread-safe and therefore caution should be used when using PyIRC with threads. It does not, however, modify state outside of its own classes, so it's safe to run instances in threads.

The library is completely cross-platform and should work anywhere Python does, so long as it has a working socket implementation (SSL usage depends on your Python build having support for the ssl module - this should be almost all modern platforms).

PyIRC 3 requires Python 3.3 or newer. asyncio support requires either 3.4, or for asyncio to be installed from PyPI.

Documentation is automatically generated and placed here for perusal. Our docs coverage is very complete.

Probably many! Tell us about them - see the support section or just file an issue on the bug tracker :).
