Bit of a longshot - does anyone know anything about X-Chat scripting with Python?

[Skunk]

I use the X-Chat IRC client when I'm running linux. It allows you to write extension scripts in Perl and Python. I have a vague understanding of Python and a slightly firmer understanding of Perl. I've figured out how to write Perl scripts for X-Chat, but I can't find any documentation on how you tie a Pyton script into the X-Chat client. If anyone knows I'd love to hear about it - I want to learn Python properly but to do that I need a project to work on, and a set of Python IRC scripts would be ideal :)

If you haven't already had a mooch around, I'd suggest http://www.python.org and http://www.xchat.org.

Obvious links probably, but hey, just in case :)

You could also try http://www.pythonline.com although I'd be amazed if you got any sense out of it.

Yeah I've looked through the python and xchat sites in depth - loads of info but nothing on tying xchat to python scripts (there's plenty on the xchat site about writing Perl scripts but I want to try something new).

pythononline.com is just plain weird :eek:

Bleurgh, sorry 'bout that.

You're right, there doesn't seem to be anything at all about hooking up Python scripts to Xchat, very strange.

I guess you may have to grit your teeth and fire off a question to one of the many discussion groups kicking about.

I know there's a free on-line book found here: http://diveintopython.org/toc.html

Still nada on xchat scripting tho' I'm afraid. Soz dude.
