Sample Chat Bot

This doesn't work anymore. Go here.

#Import chatango.py so that you can use some of its classes and methods.
import chatango

#Make an instance of the chatroom where the bot will reside.
room = chatango.chatroom("danball1")

#Log in with a given username and password.
#If the password is wrong or omitted, the bot will log in as an anon.
room.login(username, password)

#Post a message
room.say("Hello, I am an example bot!")

running = True

while running:
event = room.get_event()
if event["event"] == "message":
post = event["message"]
message = post.content
poster = post.user
prettyPoster = poster.displayname
room.say(prettyPoster + " just made a post.")
if(message == "Leave"):
room.say("I will leave now.")
running = False
elif event["event"] == "login":
poster = event["user"]
prettyPoster = poster.displayname
room.say(prettyPoster + " just logged onto chat.")
elif event["event"] == "logout":
poster = event["user"]
prettyPoster = poster.displayname
room.say(prettyPoster + " just logged off chat.")
room.disconnect()

You are a genius, Veers. To think that this is your first Python project is unbelievable.
I just hope my first project will go as well...
Oh, and thanks for the code. It is pretty interesting stuff... I take it you had to download some chatango modules for Python?

Well, I had to get much help from disabled. I probably would have been too deep in syntax and runtime errors without his help, although I did manage to clearly express what I wanted to happen down in code most of the time.

Also, the above code is erratic. Let me correct the syntax errors...

EDIT: There, the simple code should be fixed.

You need parenthesis around danball1

[Fringe Pioneer]

You mean the missing quotation marks? I edited the excerpt to include quotation marks to mark "danball1" as a string...

Oops sorry, but yeah, ""

Wow.. a very short code indeed.

A simple startup method and a couple commands. This should give one everything he needs to make a bot.
