MONTYBOT

Montybot is a human friendly IRC bot. currently it supplies cute pictures of animals to humans.

HOW TO USE

• In the shell, run:

$ "python event.py "<channel>"

• To use Puppy Bot you need a Flickr API key. Currently the group used is corgis but you can change that, obviously (though why would you want to?)

REQUIREMENTS

• headers (apt-get install python-dev)
• Twisted and its dependencies
• flickrpy
• python-requests
• BeautifulSoup

For PuppyBot

• flickrpy (included here as flickr.py because I patched it slightly; source https://code.google.com/p/flickrpy/)
• flickr API key (store in secret_settings.py as API_KEY and API_SECRET; see SAMPLE file included here)

For Link log

• python-requests [python-requests.org]
• BeautifulSoup
• Create an empty text file, called 'links_in_channel.txt', in the same directory as the app.
