Python ircd

What is it?

Python ircd is a zero-configuration, single server irc daemon written in python, including ChanServ and NickServ using sqlite as database backend.

It is compatible with at least irssi, mIrc, xchat, opera and supybot

I use it primarily to test my supybot plugins.

Requirements

• python2.5 (python2.4 and below does not work)
• py-sqlite3

Is it stable?

No. Bug reports are always welcome.

Where to get it?

Python ircd is contained in a single file, sirc.py. Just download and execute it.

Features

ChanServ

• Registration of channels.
• Initial topic for each registered channel. It is set each time the channel is created (i.e., joined by someone at a time it was empty.
• Overtake protection. The first user joining a channel keeps op status only if he's the founder or on the sop/aop list. A channel owner/SOP/AOP can always join their channel by using the ChanServ FORCEJOIN command.
• Permission lists. No arbitrary "user levels". You have SOPs, AOPs, HOPs, and VOPs. SOPs may modify the AOP, HOP and VOP lists.

NickServ

Nick registration. Users may kill their nick by using the GHOST command. At this time, no password recovery is possible.

Channels

Only #-Channels are suppored. #-Channels are networkwide channels, and since there's only one server, all channels are network wide.

The following modes are supported:

• +n PRIVMSGs to a channel may be sent only by users joined in that channel
• +t Topic may be set by a chanop only.
• +l n n is the maximum amount of users
• +i Only invited users may join
• +r Only users identified with NickServ may join
• +s Channel is secret; whois $(USER) doesn't show the issuee is in that channel, if the issuer is not, too. Also, channel does not show up in a LIST command.
• +(o|h|v) $(USER) User is op/halfop/has voice

Bugs

A lot of stuff is still hardcoded. DoS-protection is missing completely. Sanity checks for channel names, etc. need a thorough review.

The operator password, reindeerflotilla, is hardcoded. Please search for it in the source file and CHANGE IT! Thanks.
