I came across a blog entry which shows you how to create an IRC bot from scratch in only a few lines of Python, which honestly kind of amazed me even being somewhat fluent with Python. I’ve seen a number of other Python IRC bot packages but have yet to try them out (such as Supybot, Phenny, and Pynfo), but a quick example like that is pretty impressive to me.

Basically what all the added junk of Supybot and Phenny &c. give you is features; their cores tend to be reducible to almost the same as given in that tutorial. The primary differences will be the use of asynchronous messaging, stuff to prevent flooding, and so on.
