TalkBackBot

Are you tired of "That's what she said" jokes? Then this bot is for you! It will join a specified channel and respond to the configured trigger phrases with what she really said, i.e. a quotation from a notable woman. It will also respond to any direct message with a quotation.

Many quotes taken from this excellent resource: http://womenshistory.about.com/library/qu/blqulist.htm

Setup

I highly recommend both virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper to manage the environments for your different python projects.

# Create a virtualenv
mkvirtualenv talkbackbot

# Install requirements
workon talkbackbot
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

# Activate your virtualenv
workon talkbackbot

# Copy settings.py.EXAMPLE to settings.py and edit to suit yourself
cp settings.py.EXAMPLE settings.py
vim settings.py

# Run the bot
twistd twsrs

# Stop the bot
kill `cat twistd.pid`

nosetests
