- Modules are loaded dynamically from this directory by the bot's load_modules function.
- Each module must:
- * Define __init__(self, events=None, printer_handle=None, bot=None)
- * Define a handle(self, event)
- So, that's a lot of work. Happily, there is a BaseModule class that defines a minimalistic (if non-functional, complete) __init__ and handle. Your module may override both, either, or neither of them. There is a convenience function, however -- post_init(). You may define an event and subscribe your module to it, then register that event with the bot.
- ex.
- youtube = Event("__.youtubes__")
- youtube.define(msg_definition="youtube.com[\S]+")
- youtube.subscribe(self)
- self.bot.register_event(youtube, self)
- Any more is gravy.
- An excellent example of inheriting (and how it saves you trouble) is in modules/examplederived.py.
- A fuller example is in example.py.
