Github will contain the latest bug fixes and improvements but sometimes also "bad quality" code.
- Automatic PING/PONG between the server
- IRC Message parsing
- A simple set up and connection method
- Easy installation
- Easy CTCP Set-up
To use IPv6 with zirc.Socket, you can use the family socket.AF_INET6:
import socket
self.connection = zirc.Socket(family=socket.AF_INET6)Initialize zirc.Socket with argument socket_class:
self.connection = zirc.Socket(socket_class=zirc.Proxy(host="localhost", port=1080, protocol=zirc.SOCKS5))You can find examples for zIRC by me and other users on CodeBottle
- Multiple connection support
- More documentation

Please discuss code changes that significantly affect client use of the library before merging to the master branch. Change the version in setup.py ahead if the change should be uploaded to PyPi.
