Pipobot is a modular bot for jabber MUCs.
Its documentation hosted on Read the Docs
Pipobot is written in python and compatible with versions of python2>=2.5.
It is based on these Python modules:
- `python-sleekxmpp`: engine of connection to XMPP servers
- `python-yaml`: configuration files are yaml files
- `python-sqlalchemy`: Pipobot is storing data to database through sqlalchemy library.
You need to create a configuration file for the bot. An example of such file is provided in
the pipobot.conf.yml.
To start the bot, you just have to use the command :
python -m pipobot /path/to/the/config_file.yml
Default configuration file used is /etc/pipobot.conf.yml
You can use setup.py script to install pipobot on your system.
python setup.py install
Then start it with the command pipobot.
You can also set it to start in background by using the -b option.
Alternatively, package creation files are provided for archlinux and debian. You can find these files in the distrib/ directory.
