solferino

Python irc/retroshare bridge.

        attention this spaghetti code is especially disgusting, do not read if you're easily scared           

This blob is a bridge between retroshare lobbies and a irc chan. Acts as a relay in both directions.

---

There are two concurrent threads (alert: with active waiting!!1ONE!) each which handles messages in chan by his side, using two Queue (one for direction) in order to exchange them.

TODO:

• implement in a smart way "event driven pyrs" which allows to throw all the unnecessary waiting in the toilet.
• enter the logging and strengthen generating errors
• turn it into a demon with all the necessary arrangements
• manage connections / reconnections / reload
• insert commands via chan from both sides
• insert serious parsing of messages (oembed, other)
• find someone who knows how to write code
