A mostly abandoned event-based library for connecting to one or multiple Chatango rooms, has support for several things including: messaging, message font, name color, deleting, banning, recent history, two userlist modes, flagging, avoiding flood bans, detecting flags.

Planned Changes for future 1.4.* release

• Websocket Implementation of Room and PM
• IRC Implementation?
• Example of async implementation?

Planned Changes Before 1.4 release

Assuming I don't lose interest in doing the following - asl97

• Performance measuring and warning system

Changelog:

pre-1.4.0:

• Generalize handling of Room and PM into Conn like object - asl97
  • for easier to support other platform other than chatango - asl97
• Improve buffer performance by using bytearrays in place of bytes in places - asl97
  • Update the buffer in-place whenever possible
• General assumed performance improvement of miscellaneous functions - asl97
• Close the bot when not connected to anything with no pending task or running thread via deferToThread
  • New task/room/output usually only get added due to input via select.select, existing tasks or deferToThread, they don't magically appear except when people mess with threading
    Use the newly added flag as shown in example.py disconnectOnEmptyConnAndTask = False
    for old behavior of pointlessly checking every 0.2 seconds by default - asl97
• Use deterministic waiting for tasks in main loop - asl97
• No more joinThread nonsense, Fixes joinRoom to returns Room Object again
  • Seem to work fine when testing connecting to 15 rooms at once - asl97
• Mostly cleaning up my mess and modernizing the code base - asl97
• Python 2 is no longer supported for good, it's EoL since 2020 - asl97

Past Readme

I would like to note that I am not the original author, but merely the current maintainer. The previous holder (pun unintended) unexpectedly dropped from his/her position without transferring it and I just happened to be the one of the few who tried to pick up the pieces. ~~~~ nullspeaker
