<p><strong><a href="http://zork.net/motd/nick/django/introducing-yardbird.html">Introducing Yardbird</a></strong></p> I absolutely love it—an IRC bot built on top of Twisted that passes incoming messages off to Django code running in a separate thread. Requests and Response objects are used to represent incoming and outgoing messages, and Django’s regex-based URL routing is used to dispatch messages to different handling functions based on their content. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/irc">irc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/regular-expressions">regular-expressions</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/threads">threads</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/twisted">twisted</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yardbird">yardbird</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.mibbit.com/">Mibbit</a></strong></p> Excellent web-based IRC client, should be great for when pesky firewalls get in the way. Also a good candidate for use with a site-specific browser. <p><small></small>Via <a href="http://twitter.com/Natbat/statuses/792499743">Nat</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ajax">ajax</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/irc">irc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/mibbit">mibbit</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sitespecificbrowsers">sitespecificbrowsers</a></p>

There’s an opt-out privacy control and the bot sends you a message about it the first time it logs your activity. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django-people">django-people</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/irc">irc</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a></p>
