Anybody doing irc-stuff with Python / status of irc-modules for Python

[Thomas Weholt]

Hi,

Question #1 : Is anybody doing anything IRC-related in Python?
Question #2 : Does anybody know what module to use based on features and
ease of use?

I need a library to connect to a server and act as a information provider in
a channel ( as a BOT ), also serving files if asked, like an fserv. The
thing must answer queries, commands and send info to users as they log in.

Any clues? Any information would be appreciated.

PS! Also interested in libraries related to ICQ with similar goals in mind.

Thomas
