@Zizouz212 What did you have to put in the data file to prevent the EOFError?

Let me get that for you:

Is this the pickling file?

Ja

You should be able to get the data if you type this in:

import sys, pickle

pickle.dump({}, sys.stdout)

Then copy the output into the file

ta

Got it?

Got it for you here now:

Well we'll see if it crashes when it starts

No, good

OK Karma you can sleep again

It works?

>>stop

Would appear so

Or not

It works...

Save failed on stopping

>>stop

That's better

Now I just need to add data

Save failed?

Yeah, when I stopped it the first time it didn't save the files

Weird... Is there a Points.close() anywhere where you terminate?

I added it to fix the bug

Try it, it should save with that

In Chatbot.py in command_stop there used to be

SaveIO.save(SaveIO.path, Points)

but i changed the saveIO class a bit so I changed that line to

Points.close()

It all works now

Ok

So it's good?

Yep

:D

I'm trying to do the stars/pins dicts

Oh here, let me help you on that

I've got some of the way there, let me push what I've got

Sure, I'll take a look

There we go

room topic changed to Chatbot Dev: Discussion of development of chatbots for the SE chat network [chatbots] [code-problems] [git-confusion] [stack-traces]

Alright, I see that pins_data.p and stars_data.p Any controllers?

Controllers?

Places for commands?

Points.star adds data to Stars which gets saved to stars_data

I'm going to go eat, back later

Sure :)

Bot started.

>>alive

>> alive

@Zizouz212 Yes, I'm alive. Why wouldn't I be?

>> stop

@Zizouz212 Bot terminated.

ok

Bot started.

>> support

@Zizouz212 @Zizouz212!!! You better get the heck over here!!!!

Oh dear...

@ProgramFOX on_bot_load() should probaly be bound to the module

we also probably need a reference to the bot

could I add that?

although, no, I don't think it needs to be bound

>> xkcd 221

Hey, do you know how I can change where to place the command?

i.e. Change this >>

Bot started.

>>listcommands

@Zizouz212 Commands: alive, help, listcommands, random, randomchoice, randomint, shuffle, support, translate, utc, xkcd, xkcdrandomnumber

@overactor Bot started? or Bot Dead?

>>help

@Zizouz212 I'm ParrotBot, Zinedine's chatbot. You can find the source code on GitHub. You can get a list of all commands by running >>listcommands, or you can run >>help command to learn more about a specific command.

Bot started.

>> help utc

@Zizouz212 Shows the current UTC time. Syntax: >>utc

>>help support

@Zizouz212 Command exists, but no help entry found.

>> ban overactor

@Zizouz212 Invalid arguments.

>> help ban

@Zizouz212 Owner-only command. Bans a user from using the bot. Syntax: >>ban user_id

>>ban 122560

@Zizouz212 User @overactor has been banned.

>> unban @overactor

@Zizouz212 Invalid arguments.

>>unban 122560

@Zizouz212 User @overactor has been unbanned.

ok...

@Zizouz212 something wrong?

no, just banning and unbanning :)

Do you know how to change the prefix to execute?

i.e. >>

hmm

I've looked around in the source but couldn't find anything

    if parts[0].startswith(">>"):
        cmd_args = content[2:]

No like changes it so instead of:

>> hello

@Zizouz212 Command not found.

I do like:

"" hello

There should be a string with this somewhere, but I can't find it...

    if parts[0].startswith('""'):
        cmd_args = content[2:]

That's the part you're looking for

Which file and line?

ChatBot.py

I don't think we have the same version though

Seriously? I looked in that place like a million times...
