How to use a variable to act as @rule in a Sopel IRC bot module?

2015-12-22 Thread arresteddevlopment 

Hi everyone. I'm working with the Sopel (previously Willie and before that, 
Jenni/Phenny) python IRC bot as I'd like to set up a trivia quiz for our IRC 
channel.

With Sopel, the @rule decorator lets you set a string that the bot will 
listen out for and which triggers a corresponding function when encountered. 
So for the quiz I'd like the bot to confirm a correct answer by saying 
"Correctamundo!" when someone gets the question right.





A. The first thing I tried was a nested function. After choosing a random 
question from the q_and_as tuples list, it sets the answer (q[1]) as the rule 
that should trigger the correct() function.



from sopel.module import commands, ruleimport randomq_and_as = [('Why?', 
'because'), ('Can I kick it?', 'nope')]@commands("quizme")def ask_q(bot, 
trigger):q = random.choice(q_and_as)bot.say(q[0])@rule(q[1])
def correct(bot, trigger):bot.sat('Correctamundo!')


For whatever reason the answer isn't triggering the correct() function when 
done this way.




B. I also tried passing the answer (q[1]) to a separate answer function, 
which would then set it as the rule that triggered the correct() function.



from sopel.module import commands, ruleimport randomq_and_as = [('Why?', 
'because'), ('Can I kick it?', 'nope')]@commands("quizme")def ask_q(bot, 
trigger):q = random.choice(q_and_as)bot.say(q[0])answer(bot, 
trigger, q[1])def answer(bot, trigger, answer):@rule(answer)def 
correct(bot, trigger):bot.say(' correctamundo!')


Again though, the function isn't being triggered. Any ideas where I'm going 
wrong? Or is there a better way of doing this? Thank you.

Apologies for the terrible formatting, let me try that again:

A:
from sopel.module import commands, rule
import random

q_and_as = [('Why?', 'because'), ('Can I kick it?', 'nope')]

@commands("quizme")
def ask_q(bot, trigger):
 q = random.choice(q_and_as)
 bot.say(q[0])
 @rule(q[1])
 def correct(bot, trigger):
 bot.sat('Correctamundo!')

B:
...
@commands("quizme")
def ask_q(bot, trigger):
 q = random.choice(q_and_as)
 bot.say(q[0])
 answer(bot, trigger, q[1])

def answer(bot, trigger, answer):
 @rule(answer)
 def correct(bot, trigger):
 bot.say(' correctamundo!')

If the above comes out wonky again I also asked on StackOverflow 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34419265/how-to-set-and-later-change-a-rule-in-a-sopel-irc-bot-module-python).
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
