twisted.words.protocols.irc.IRC : API documentation

Method	connectionMade	Called when a connection is made.
Method	sendLine	Undocumented
Method	sendMessage	Send a line formatted as an IRC message.
Method	dataReceived	This hack is to support mIRC, which sends LF only, even though the RFC says CRLF. (Also, the flexibility of LineReceiver to turn "line mode" on and off was not required.)
Method	handleCommand	Determine the function to call for the given command and call it with the given arguments.
Method	irc_unknown	Called by `handleCommand` on a command that doesn't have a defined handler. Subclasses should override this method.
Method	privmsg	Send a message to a channel or user
Method	notice	Send a "notice" to a channel or user.
Method	action	Send an action to a channel or user.
Method	topic	Send the topic to a user.
Method	topicAuthor	Send the author of and time at which a topic was set for the given channel.
Method	names	Send the names of a channel's participants to a user.
Method	who	Send a list of users participating in a channel.
Method	whois	Send information about the state of a particular user.
Method	join	Send a join message.
Method	part	Send a part message.
Method	channelMode	Send information about the mode of a channel.

Inherited from Protocol:

Method	logPrefix	Return a prefix matching the class name, to identify log messages related to this protocol instance.
Method	connectionLost	Called when the connection is shut down.

Inherited from BaseProtocol (via Protocol):

Method

makeConnection

Make a connection to a transport and a server.

def connectionMade(self): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.protocol.BaseProtocol.connectionMade

overridden in twisted.words.service.IRCUser

Called when a connection is made.

This may be considered the initializer of the protocol, because it is called when the connection is completed. For clients, this is called once the connection to the server has been established; for servers, this is called after an accept() call stops blocking and a socket has been received. If you need to send any greeting or initial message, do it here.

def sendLine(self, line): (source)

Undocumented

def sendMessage(self, command, *parameter_list, **prefix): (source)

overridden in twisted.words.service.IRCUser

Send a line formatted as an IRC message.

First argument is the command, all subsequent arguments are parameters to that command. If a prefix is desired, it may be specified with the keyword argument 'prefix'.

def dataReceived(self, data): (source)

overrides twisted.internet.protocol.Protocol.dataReceived

This hack is to support mIRC, which sends LF only, even though the RFC says CRLF. (Also, the flexibility of LineReceiver to turn "line mode" on and off was not required.)

def handleCommand(self, command, prefix, params): (source)

Determine the function to call for the given command and call it with the given arguments.

def irc_unknown(self, prefix, command, params): (source)

Called by handleCommand on a command that doesn't have a defined handler. Subclasses should override this method.

def privmsg(self, sender, recip, message): (source)

Send a message to a channel or user

Parameters	sender	Who is sending this message. Should be of the form username!ident@hostmask (unless you know better!). (type: `str` or `unicode`)
	recip	The recipient of this message. If a channel, it must start with a channel prefix. (type: `str` or `unicode`)
	message	The message being sent. (type: `str` or `unicode`)

def notice(self, sender, recip, message): (source)

Notices differ from privmsgs in that the RFC claims they are different. Robots are supposed to send notices and not respond to them. Clients typically display notices differently from privmsgs.

	recip	The recipient of this message. If a channel, it must start with a channel prefix. (type: `str` or `unicode`)

Parameters	sender	Who is sending this message. Should be of the form username!ident@hostmask (unless you know better!). (type: `str` or `unicode`)
