I"m trying to write an IRC bot just for fun (in python of course). Here's my current code:
1 #!/usr/local/bin/python 2 import time 3 import socket 4 5 def message (x, channel,s): 6 y="PRIVMSG"+" "+ channel+" :"+x 7 s.send(y); 8 host="irc.freenode.net"; 9 port=6667; 10 size=1024; 11 channel="#dhaivatrocks"; 12 s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM); 13 s.connect((host,port)); 14 s.send("NICK PoincareBot"); 15 s.send("USER PoincareBot 8 * : Paul Mutton"); 16 time.sleep(5); 17 s.send("JOIN #dhaivatrocks"); 18 s.send(PRIVMSG #dhaivatrocks :Hello everybody! 19 while True: 20 pass; 21 What I don't understand is that it doesn't display any messages or show a new message login on my IRC client. What's wrong with my code?
