* Package name : willie Version : 4.5.1 Upstream Author : Michael Yanovich, Edward Powell, Elad Alfassa... * URL : https://github.com/embolalia/willie * License : EFLv2 Programming Lang: Python Description : simple, lightweight, open source, easy-to-use IRC utility bot Upstream description: Willie is a simple, lightweight, open source, easy-to-use IRC utility bot, written in Python. It's designed to be easy to use, easy to run, and easy to make new features for. Willie comes with a ton of ready-made features for you to use. It can leave notes for people, give you reminders, check RSS feeds, and much more. Willie also comes with a fully-documented and easy-to-use API, so you can write your own features. There's also an easy tutorial you can follow along with, to help you learn. Developing for Willie is a great way to familiarize yourself with Python. It's easy to start, but there's no limit to the cool things you can do with it. I find the software interesting because it is a modern, elegantly designed yet minimal Python-based IRC bot. It compares favorably to the already packaged supybot: https://github.com/embolalia/willie/wiki/Comparison-to-other-bots I would be happy to have co-maintainers and I am unlikely to work on this in the very short term, but I will probably get around to work on this for $WORK eventually anyways, so this is an ITP. Note that Willie is a derivative of Phenny, which itself is a derivative of Jenni (or something like that). There are some optional Python dependencies for this bot, some of which are not packaged in Debian: https://github.com/embolalia/willie/wiki/System-Requirements Specifically, I couldn't find the praw package. But that's not a blocker since it's optional and only used for reddit. Otherwise the package seems pretty straightforward Python packaging with a daemon, which also has a systemd service file and an easy auto-configuration tool. The package would probably need to just create a user to sandbox the bot and tell the admin to run the config wizard and we'd be done with this package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
