Terra Is a Python bot created by photofroggy. This bot is entirely Object Oriented and uses a unique extension system for plugins, and a unique events system, which works with the extension system. Terra only uses built in Python modules, but requires that you have Python 3.0 installed. The bot is cross-platform, and was even successfully tested on an iPhone when using Python 2.5.1!
Note from the author
I was never actually intending to release Terra publicly. I only changed my mind at around build 60. Terra was intended as a personal project to help me learn Python. I really enjoyed everything about making this bot, thinking of new new ideas, developing them, handling dAmn in the best way I could think of without using Twisted. The only thing I didn't particularly enjoy was writing the documentation for the bot, but what's the point of releasing something without the documentation?
Terra is a general purpose bot. You can, in theory, use it to do anything you want it to do. The extensions system is very simple, easy to use, and very developer friendly. The bot comes with an array of extensions, but they are mainly the essentials. The events system is simple, yet strong. Events are represented by objects which are passed to the methods that handle them.
If you download Terra, I hope you don't have any difficulties getting things going, and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have enjoyed making it.
