I made an IRC bot based on this same file when I was first starting 
Python, too.
So forgive the code for any readability issues it may have.
Basically what it does is monitors private messages for "themes" or "quit"
if it gets "themes" it replies with a bunch of themes.
The bot was for pyweek a few years ago.
Anyway,  you could just as easily monitor for a ctcp request.
See if the code makes any sense.
I'd give more help, but I'm in extremely busy right now.
Freenode doesn't let you send private messages if you don't identify 
yourself, but it's simple to create a password.
Just do a /msg NickServ register password
SO make sure you register your bot prior to using this, or you won't be 
able to send private messages.
