I've just started to use X-Chat as my linux IRC client. One of my favourite things about it is that it lets you run add-on scripts written in Perl and Python - I've already downloaded a couple of Perl scripts and they work a treat.
My problem is that I recently had a read through the Python beginners tutorial on the Python site (http://www.python.org/) and I'd really like to have a go at writing something in it. A script for X-Chat would be the perfect project (reasonably simple to do, and I'll be able to use it once it's done) but I can't find documentation on how to write X-Chat Python scripts anywhere. There's plenty of information about on how to write a Perl script that can accept information from X-Chat and send it back, but I can't find anything similar for Python.
I've searched on google and came up blank - anyone got any pointers?
