Gahhh, this list. Nobody suggested just using Python's Twisted?[1] So much
easier than trying to write your own script in Python using sockets and
manual pongs and all that jazz.

You're more than welcome to look around my home directory (check
/home/mzmcbride/scripts/irc/) for some IRC bots. The bot I specifically use
to relay irc.wikimedia.org to irc.freenode.net is on another server, but I'd
be happy to post the code for you if you'd like. His name is snitch and he
supports all Wikimedia wikis, multiple channels, and stalks per-page,
per-user, or per-wiki.
