It's just a plain idea how you can make an irc bot. Possible solutions are making the buffer bigger or preserving the last message if it doesn't end with a \n. For WikiLinkBot the first solution works just fine (If reading the recent changes every 10 minutes just works fine, making a bigger buffer should do the job (max. 500 edits in 600 seconds, then just make the buffer a little bigger).

Sumurai8 (DD):
text = IRC.recv(1024) msgs = text.split('\n')
This seems to have a bug: if there's more than 1024 bytes waiting, you could receive only part of the final message; so you will truncate that message, and the next recv will receive the other half (which will then be effectively junk).
