irc-toolkit
===========

An IRC client toolkit in Python.

## Installation

```bash
$ pip install irc-toolkit
```

## Usage

There are a few parts of irc-toolkit, depending on your goals.
[`irctk.Message`](https://irctk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/message.html)
offers IRC message parsing,
[`irctk.Client`](https://irctk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/client.html) offers an
IRC client which handles connection/channel/nick tracking giving you a callback
based interface for IRC messages, for example:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import asyncio
import logging

import irctk

class Bot:
async def connect(self, hostname, port=6697, secure=True):
client = irctk.Client()
client.delegate = self
await client.connect(hostname, port, secure)

def irc_registered(self, client):
client.send('MODE', client.nick, '+B')
client.send('JOIN', '#test')

def irc_private_message(self, client, nick, message):
if message == 'ping':
client.send('PRIVMSG', nick, 'pong')

def irc_channel_message(self, client, nick, channel, message):
if message == 'ping':
client.send('PRIVMSG', channel, f'{nick}: pong')
elif message == 'quit':
client.quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
# Enable debug logging
logging.basicConfig(level='DEBUG')

bot = Bot()
asyncio.run(bot.connect('irc.darkscience.net'))
```
