An experimental bot for Jabber chat rooms.
Jabba Desilijic Tiure, or simply Jabba the Hutt. Jabba is of the Hutt race and like most of his species, a gangster. Hutts are a large slug-like race with thick leathery skin, human-like arms, large black cat-like eyes, and a wide mouth. A Hutt may weigh in excess of several tons. The species are hermaphrodites and reproduce by fission. They speak Huttese, a language reminiscent of Quechua. -- Urban Dictionary
jaber-the-hutt requires Python 3.x, and recent versions of libxml2
and libxslt, along with development headers.
To satisfy these dependenices on a Debian system, do:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
To then install jabber-the-hutt itself inside a virtualenv:
wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py mkdir jabber-the-hutt cd jabber-the-hutt python3 virtualenv.py . bin/pip install jabber-the-hutt
Alternatively, you can install jabber-the-hutt from the source:
git clone https://github.com/dnouri/jabber-the-hutt cd jabber-the-hutt wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py python3 virtualenv.py . bin/python setup.py develop
Installation creates a jabber-the-hutt console script. This script
expects a configuration file as its first argument:
$ bin/jabber-the-hutt hutt.ini
Your configuration file should look something like this:
[jabber-the-hutt] jid = [email protected] room = [email protected] room_password = some room password
