Description

park is a Jabber/Gtalk bot written using the python-jabberbot library. This bot is written to behave like a chatroom, where all the messages are sent to all the subscribed users.

Installation

• Clone the repository from GitHub
• Run python setup.py develop to install the dependencies and setup your environment for running the bot.
• This will create a dummy settings.py and state.json in the park directory. Edit these files with the appropriate values.

Usage

You can run the bot using the command park after installing it. You should have the first user manually "registered" in the state.json, and he/she can invite the other users.

Bugs/Issues

• Known Issue: Google doesn't allow sending and receiving more than 50 messages in a period of 12.5 seconds. This basically makes the bot unusable, even for three or four users in the channel. Use jabber.org for hosting the bot, instead.
