Aleph, version 1.0.0

A published, working version of the Aleph IRC library is now available. While there are plenty of features not yet implemented, it should now be possible to use it to implement a simple (or complex) IRC bot.

An example of a bot that logs all incoming messages:

:::python
#!/usr/bin/python

from aleph.core import Core
from aleph import logger

class AlephTestBot (Core):
    def input (self, message):
        # Log the message
        logger.log(message, 6, message.command)

bot = Aleph({
    'nick' : 'AlephExampleBot',

    'servers' : [{
        'id': 'IrcNet',
        'address': 'server',
        'channels': ['#aleph']
    }],
}).run()

Features I hope to add in the near future include:

• A callback interface, so functions can be registered to message types - this will become the default instance of an Aleph bot and will be significantly easier to build a bot with.
• Better understanding of the irc protocol on the part of the IrcServer class, including things such as reading the MOTD and other data.
• Documentation that does not rely on looking at the source code.
