Introduction

Willie is a simple, lightweight, open source, easy-to-use IRC Utility bot, written in Python. It's designed to be easy to use, run and extend.

Installation

Latest stable release

If you're on Fedora or Arch, the easiest way to install is through your package manager. The package is named willie in both Fedora and the AUR. On other distros, and pretty much any operating system you can run Python on, you can install pip, and do pip install willie. Failing all that, you can download the latest tarball from http://willie.dftba.net and follow the steps for installing from the latest source below.

Latest source

First, either clone the repository with git clone git://github.com/embolalia/willie.git or download a tarball from GitHub.

In the source directory (whether cloned or from the tarball) run setup.py install. You can then run willie to configure and start the bot. Alternately, you can just run the willie.py file in the source directory.

Adding modules

The easiest place to put new modules is in ~/.willie/modules. You will need to add a a line to the [core] section of your config file saying extra = /home/yourname/.willie/modules.

Some extra modules are available in the willie-extras repository, but of course you can also write new modules. A tutorial for creating new modules is available on the wiki. API documentation can be found online at http://willie.dftba.net/docs, or you can create a local version by running make html in the doc directory.

Further documentation

In addition to the official website, there is also a wiki which includes valuable information including a full listing of commands.
