python for irc client

Show all headers | View raw

Hi guys -

I have historical experience developing sofwtare for my own use. It has been
quite a while since doing so and the advent of new languages has brought me
here. Python has built quite a reputation. It would be fun to pick up a
new language while I'm at it.

I've been a consumer of IRC since the nineties and have been running an
instance of quassel core on an old laptop for the last decade. Over the
years, my use of xwindows has dramatically decreased and I spend 90% of my
computer time with multiple panes of tmux while I do my usual daily fun. One
thing missing is a good textmode irc client that will connect to quassel
core.

I've seen efforts to make a plugin for weechat but, to date, I don't see much
progress on that end.

In your wisdom, would python be a good environment to accomplish this? I'd
likely use extended ascii and colors. The point would be to minimize the
memory footprint of the application.

I don't use standard desktop computers anymore - I'm writing this on my
beloved pi400 using emacs.

Thanks

Daniel
