Feel free to comment below or hop on the #LinuxAcademy channel on Freenode if you have any questions or need any help. We’re going to assume a basic knowledge of Python and functions for this post, and if you’ve taken our Introduction to Python on Linux course you should have all the knowledge you need for this basic IRC bot tutorial. Until he is ready to release his new Python content, however, I thought I might help tide you over with a fun Python project that I enjoy: Making an IRC bot.In this blog post, I’m going to cover how to create a basic IRC bot with Python 3. As we’ve previously announced, more is coming from our new instructor, Shiraz.

Our students have made it very clear on multiple times how much they want more Python from us as well. We’ve blogged some about IRC before and talked about the #LinuxAcademy channel on the Freenode IRC network.
