A simple python IRC bot for my own amusement
============================================
CLI args
========
You can invoke the bot using the run.py script. It takes the following
arguments/flags.
-c --config A json file specifying configuration options. This is by
far the easiest way to get up and running!
-s --server The server to connect to
-p --port The port to connect to
-n --nick The nick the bot will use
-a --nickserv The name of nickserv on the network you're connecting to
-w --password The password for nickserv
--load Load this plugin on startup
-v --verbose Turn on verbose logging (see every message)
The run.py script will also take the name of its owner and a list of channels. These will
probably need to be escaped from a BASH terminal as it likes to interpret
# symbols as being special.
To connect to AberWiki and join #lolhax:
./run.py -s irc.aberwiki.org -p 6667 -a zippy -w secret overlord "#lolhax"
TODO list

Allow setting command char from command line
