Requirement: To run Pitsilemu, Python v2.4 or higher is required, but Python v3.x isn't currently supported. Some of the code may work on Python version 2.3.

• For Windows, download the latest Python v2.x here (not 3.x version!!)
• For Mac and Unix, Python is already present on Mac OS X and on some Unix versions (although it might be necessary or recommended to update it if you have a very old version).

On Windows, follow the steps on-screen and you'll get a fresh Python copy.

Python IRC library

The Python IRC library is an event-driven IRC client framework written in Python.

• Download the latest version.

Installation

• Run "python setup.py install" or copy irclib.py and/or ircbot.py to an appropriate Python module directory.

Pitsilemu

Download the latest version from the SourceForge project. Extract it whenever you want.

Next step is to set-up config.py.

config.py

Main: config.py

Running Pitsilemu

Pitsilemu running at the MS-DOS command line.

Now that you've configured config.py, the next step is to run it, if you have successfully installed Python and the IRC library.

• In Linux go to the path you've extracted Pitsilemu and type: python orejotas.py
• On Windows, just double-click the file named orejotas.py

You'll get a nice command line with the bot running. :-)
