[09:42:43] <pmxbot> (jaraco: 7) (pmxbot: 6) (aclark: 3) (dcpython_hubot: 2) (xrogaan: 2) (pythonpackages.com, pythonpackages.org: 2) (#dcpython: 1) (bigsassy: 1) (mongodb: 1) (supervisord: 1)

[10:38:35] <xrogaan_> jaraco: is that a irclib bot ?

[10:38:52] <jaraco> Yes it is.

[10:39:07] <xrogaan_> how do you manage the command list ?

[10:39:20] <jaraco> python code

[10:39:27] <jaraco> http://bitbucket.org/yougov/pmxbot

[10:39:41] <jaraco> Basically decorators on functions.

[10:40:03] <jaraco> https://bitbucket.org/yougov/pmxbot/src/b26c4e81e194/pmxbot/commands.py

[10:41:05] <xrogaan_> mh

[10:41:48] <xrogaan_> i had no idea one could do that in python

[10:42:18] <jaraco> decorators are pretty powerful.

[10:42:53] <jaraco> The trick for something like pmxbot is that the decorators register the functions as handlers, which can be looked up in a dictionary of commands.

[10:44:38] <xrogaan_> well, i aim to create a modular ircbot. I don't think it would work that way.

[10:44:49] <xrogaan_> see, every module come with its own set of commands

[10:45:06] <jaraco> If you want to add commands to pmxbot, just create a package according to the pmxbot README, and we can install it.

[10:45:42] <xrogaan_> what happens in case of collision ?

[10:45:53] <jaraco> Currently, first registered wins.

[10:46:08] <jaraco> And registration occurs in order of setuptools entry points.

[10:46:14] <xrogaan_> i'm writting my own thing btw

[10:48:23] <xrogaan_> i was just wondering how you came up with the command listing :p

[10:51:41] <jaraco> oh. I see. The bot just cycles through the registry. https://bitbucket.org/yougov/pmxbot/src/b26c4e81e194/pmxbot/commands.py#cl-791

[10:53:38] <xrogaan_> I'm currently thinking about using a "false" dict to manage modules and related commands

[10:55:46] <xrogaan_> which is a bit crazy

[10:56:01] <jaraco> what's a false dict?

[10:58:42] <xrogaan_> well, an object mimicking a dict

[10:58:56] <xrogaan_> behave like one but isn't a dict per say

[10:59:18] <jaraco> aah. Usually I find when I head down that path, I end up subclassing dict anyway.

[17:59:10] <iElectric> J1m: what are your plans for buildout 2.x docs?

[18:37:32] <J1m> iElectric, my first choice is for someone else to make the plans. :)

[18:37:44] <J1m> Y'all seem to be off to a good start.

[18:38:53] <J1m> At a high level, I'd like to see a not-to-long introduction on the package page (pypi) that describes the 2 main use cases, and links off to sphinx docs.

[18:39:59] <J1m> My recommendation for the sphinx docs is to have a fairly brief into/getting started page and then 2 high-kevel sections: how-tos and reference docs.
