Hello Friends,<br><br>Do you think it is cool if you are able to handover the overhead of chatting with friends to an Artificial intelligence program called Eliza .. For those who don't know Eliza, it is a computer program by Joseph Weizenbaum which simulates a therapist. <br><br>Now let's do that using Python. To use the Gchat which uses XMPP protocol, we need to install a python module called xmpppy . It is available at http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/. The standard 'python setup.py install ' will perform the installation of module for us .<br><br>This program has two files<br>1) eliza.py <br>2) eliza_googletalk.py<br><br><br>Now the eliza.py program which sends the chat string send by our friends to the Eliza program and returns the reply of Eliza AI program.<br><br>####################################################################<br># This program will talk with eliza, the psychiatrist AI program #<br># By Maxin B.
