A simple Python IRC client library that supports SSL?

A simple Python IRC client library that supports SSL?

Solution

  • Twisted has an IRC client (in twisted.words), and it supports SSL.

    There is an example in the documentation, just remember to do reactor.connectSSL instead of reactor.connectTCP.

    If you don't want Twisted, there is also the Python IRC library, which I notice has SSL support in the latest release.
