@overactor "bamboozle"?

overactor

Your bot needs a define command

bamboozle

ProgramFOX

@overactor oh

@overactor Hmm... I have thought of that when I created it, but rejected that idea. I wasn't sure if bot owners would like it that everyone can add commands.

overactor

@ProgramFOX no no

>>define bamboozle

api call to google

ProgramFOX

Oh! Like that.

good idea

overactor

but not the highest priority now

ProgramFOX

1:03 PM

I can make a call to dictionary.reference.com.

but first the refactoring stuff :P

ArtOfCode

@Zizouz212 'twas me that pinged you. Could you work on making a dictionary for starring and pinning?

Keeps a record of who starred and pinned a message

overactor

@ArtOfCode at this point it would probably pay off to switch to the new version of the bot

@ProgramFOX or shoudl a wait a bit longer?

Zizouz212

Hey :D

Dictionary for starring and pinning?

Sure :D

ProgramFOX

@overactor Perhaps waiting a bit longer, until the Shadow's Den stuff is removed.

I hope to get that done today.

Zizouz212

Also, check out my ParrotBot:

1:06 PM

@ProgramFOX has the on_event() thing been added?

ProgramFOX

@overactor I'm writing some code to test that now.

overactor

@Zizouz212 what does it do?

Zizouz212

I think we'll probably use it for external communications (e.g. with OSI and anyone else)

overactor

or will it do...

Zizouz212

That way, KarmaBot can still have fun :)

I just started with it this morning

overactor

1:08 PM

@Zizouz212 Where did you fork it from?

Zizouz212

Clearly, @ProgramFOX helped me get everything started :D

overactor

Or is it all local so far?

Zizouz212

Like installing everything and such

I'm going to be placing it on Github :)

ProgramFOX posted a message!

overactor

@Zizouz212 you'll only need to place a few files of it on there

FOX 9000

overactor posted a message!

overactor

cool

FOX 9000

overactor posted a message!

ProgramFOX

alright, that's working!

killed

Zizouz212

1:10 PM

maybe not...

overactor

@ProgramFOX nice

ProgramFOX

it is, I just killed it before I said something

overactor

anything I can do?

Zizouz212

oh :)

ProgramFOX

@overactor For now, I think not -- I'm not starting on removing all Shadow's Den code from the repo, and that's the last refactoring needed on the main repo.

overactor

1:11 PM

cool

@ProgramFox I got another idea

we could extend ban and unban so you can ban people from specific commands

ProgramFOX

That's a good idea.

overactor

I'll add an issue, cause I'm not doing that now

ProgramFOX

ok!

After the code removal I'll go on a closing spree because many issues will have to be moved to another repository.

ArtOfCode

I'll switch to the new version when it's ready and when I've got this version stable so I have a fallback if it doesn't work for a while

>>alive

no, clearly

overactor

Oh I'll add a warning for when there are command collisions

HTTPError has become TypeError

Do you know if there is a way to get the number of stars in a post?

overactor

@Zizouz212 just a sec

Zizouz212

sure

overactor

scrape_stars in message maybe?

github.com/Manishearth/ChatExchange/blob/master/chatexchange/…

Zizouz212

1:30 PM

@ProgramFOX Hey, any idea why I'd be getting an HTTPError?

ProgramFOX

Can you post the stack trace?

Zizouz212

Sure

HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found

ProgramFOX

Uhh... I cannot say anything else than that the request fails.

Zizouz212

Well, that's lovely

ProgramFOX

Is your requests dependency upgraded to the latest?

Zizouz212

1:32 PM

I get like 10 HTTPErrors and then a single TypeError -_-

@ProgramFOX Yep, it should be the newest one

ProgramFOX

And from what account do you run it?

Zizouz212

It's weird, because right before I ran it, I got this:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
2015-07-01 13:26:04.422661 UTC
File "main.py", line 43, in <module>

auth_token = start_login_soup.find('input', {'name': 'authToken'})['value']

So it goes through... sometimes :/

ProgramFOX

Okay, looking at that, my guess is that you try to run it on ParrotBot's account.

But that account does not yet have 20 rep on chat.

because caching

Zizouz212

So the TypeError i understand, but are all the HTTPError because of the account, or is it me?

ProgramFOX

The account, because it has a Network Profile so the TypeError is not there, but it cannot post to chat --> HTTPError.

try to run it from your own account

Zizouz212

1:35 PM

Okay. Did we see that in KarmaBot?

and I can't run it from my own, mine isn't OpenID... :/

I can run the KarmaBot, I have the credentials.

ProgramFOX

@Zizouz212 No, because KarmaBot's chat profile had already 20 rep on chat when the Network Profile was created.

Zizouz212

Okay, it makes sense now

Should I try KarmaBot?

user153821

Bot started.

Zizouz212

Okay, so it's the account

ParrotBot

@Zizouz212 Language not in list. If the language is supported, ping ProgramFOX and he will add it.

overactor

@ProgramFOX Should we move the ModuleTemplate files into their own dir?

Zizouz212

>>translate fr en Bonjour!

ParrotBot

@Zizouz212 Hello!

Zizouz212

>>stop

ParrotBot

1:47 PM

@Zizouz212 Bot terminated.

ProgramFOX

@overactor I believe it would be a good idea to move all templates to a templates/ folder, actually.

that includes ConfigTemplate.py

overactor

I'll do it

Can you commit and push your changes?

git is icky about moving files

it should be the only thing you do with those files in any commit

ProgramFOX

I haven't changed anything in those files, so I think you can go on without I push first.

overactor

otherwise it just deletes it from one dir and makes it in the other

okay

Can you pull though?

Wait, i'll check it out

If you need to or not

ProgramFOX

I can probably pull after I commit.

overactor

1:51 PM

Did you pull in the last 2 hours?

ProgramFOX

yep

overactor

should be fine then

call the folder templates?

ProgramFOX

yep

FOX 9000

Bot started.

ProgramFOX

nice, so far it's still working after the code removal

I made a few other refactorings too, which were about handling special cases like the argument parsing for >>translate.

I came across that when removing some code.

>>alive

FOX 9000

2:01 PM

@ProgramFOX Argument parsing failed.

ProgramFOX

2:09 PM

this directory moving business isn't really working

ProgramFOX

>>translate en nl This is a test.

@overactor Oh?

overactor

@FOX9000 I'm getting an error when running $+stop by the way

ProgramFOX

Ohh... I found my mistake.

overactor

@ProgramFOX git always sees it as removing files and then adding new files somewhere else

ProgramFOX

@overactor stop is the most error prone command there is, unfortunately :/

overactor

2:12 PM

Well, fortunately crashing does essentially the same as what >>stop is intended to do.

@ProgramFOX what was it?

ProgramFOX

@overactor I was storing the special argument parsing output into a variable which wasn't used anymore later on, instead of in the actual arguments variable.

FOX 9000

ProgramFOX

@ProgramFOX I figured that out just now :D

@ProgramFOX sweet

ProgramFOX

I'm happy there are tools like P4Merge which make it a lot easier to resolve merge conflicts.

overactor

2:18 PM

did you pull?

ProgramFOX

yeah

having some conflicts in Chatbot.py

overactor

@ProgramFOX tough ones?

ProgramFOX

@overactor No, only a minor one.

it's resolved already

closes the refactoring issue on GH

overactor

@ArtOfCode it's merging time

right? @ProgramFOX

ProgramFOX

yep!

overactor

2:22 PM

now to document this newness

You know what would be cool?

a python file that lets you install a module automatically

: D

ProgramFOX

That would be cool, but I don't know how feasible that would be...

overactor

grab it from github

put it in the right folder

edit the Manifest file

boom

I have no clue how to do any of those things in python

ProgramFOX

I can do step 1 and step 2, but step 3... I can see syntax errors appear there because the command's edits to that file might conflict with how it looks like.

overactor

@ProgramFOX what are Commands.py and CommandsHelp.py still doing there?

ProgramFOX

oops, forgot those

deleted

overactor

2:29 PM

@ProgramFox, you should make a windows version of setup.sh too

It can expect pip and git to be installed, right?

ProgramFOX

I wish, but I'm not aware of a command-line tool to unpack .tar.gz files for Windows.

@overactor pip on Windows? Nope.

overactor

I have pip

ProgramFOX

that script would have to download the .tar.gz files of the dependencies, unpack them and run setup.py

@overactor :O

overactor

It comes with python these days I think

ProgramFOX

Even for 2.7?

overactor

2:31 PM

Python27/Scripts up in my PATH

ProgramFOX

huh it is there indeed

that's nice

I'll add a setup.bat then.

overactor

so having correctly installed Python and having git is not too much to ask from someone who wants to run the bot that's written in python that he got from github, right?

You know what you could do for the installing modules gig

Expect a very exact format

if there's a small deviation, fail and don't install

otherwise, just add it to the manifest

(and install of course)

ProgramFOX

that should work

overactor

syntax could be:

>> install.bat/sh/py? <git_repo> [<destination MetaModule>] <module_name>

Because otherwise you can't know which file needs to be added

if you don't specify the destination MetaModule, it's added to the Manifest

ProgramFOX

I'd make that a Python script; my Batch and Shell skills are near zero.

overactor

2:39 PM

If you know how to do it

it's also nice since it's system agnostic

ProgramFOX

The git clone command is going to be very useful for that.

overactor

absolutely

ArtOfCode

I'm back and boiled

overactor

is modifying code on the fly difficult?

@ArtOfCode It is very hot.

ArtOfCode

@overactor Switzerland?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

overactor

2:41 PM

@ArtOfCode Switzerland.

ArtOfCode

success

It's 35 C over here :(

ProgramFOX

It's hot here too.

ArtOfCode

So basically most of Europe is going to be hot right now

overactor

@ProgramFOX It's hot in my mother country, it's hot where I am

it's hot everywhere

@ArtOfCode success?

ArtOfCode

@Zizouz212 How's your dictionary coming on?

@overactor Correct recall of your location

overactor

2:43 PM

ah

Zizouz212

Oh, still working on it, I've been focusing a little on my brother...

ArtOfCode

Fair enough :)

overactor

@ArtOfCode did you catch that it's merging time?

Zizouz212

I'll start right now

:D

overactor

@Zizouz212 Why is he not helping? Everyone else is doing their part!

Zizouz212

2:44 PM

What?

ArtOfCode

@overactor Might be on your end... I'm going to wait until our version is stable for the old bot version, then move it over

overactor

(your brother, who is 5)

Zizouz212

Oh...

ArtOfCode

Your little bro'. He can write perfect Python first time, right?

Zizouz212

He says he can write his name

And then the computer is going to explode if he does anything else

ArtOfCode

2:44 PM

Hmmm... might have a way to go yet then

overactor

@Zizouz212 That's really cool

So he's a black hat hacker then?

Zizouz212

print amaan

Almost...

overactor

that could be a valid python snippet

put those strings in variables, good thinking amaan.

Zizouz212

He's smarter than all of us!

overactor

Though I would suggest putting them in an external file (perhapos xml) and reading them from there :]

Zizouz212

2:47 PM

Parse xml?

Errr gives me the shivers...

overactor

@Zizouz212 yeah, with regex

Zizouz212

Even worse...

How could I scare my brother with such horrible programming tools?

overactor

You weren't implementing xml parsers for your first hello world program at 5?

Zizouz212

If anyone asks me to ever parse, I'd run away...

overactor

fine, JSON

Zizouz212

2:49 PM

Geez, maybe...

not

No parsing, pickling!

overactor

@ProgramFOX what's going on on your end?

ooh, .bat file

I'm having a look at the $+stop issue, it's quite a problem

ProgramFOX

@overactor On my end?
