Jance a Jabber bot for Pownce

July 29th, 2008

Well I have just spent a couple of day writings a jabber bot that uses the Pownce api to interact with the site. It has been a fun experience, I will publish the mercurial repository of the repo as soon as I
solve this questions.

Should I publish the Pownce App key and secret along with the code?
If I do so, are rethere any security implications of doing that?
I haven’t checked, but Pownce Apps Terms could have something to say

In the mean while you can play with the one running at valkertown. Just add pownce@valkertown.org to any Jabber roster and type help.

The ongoing documentation is on my home page.

I wrote the bot using Python, Twisted for the Jabber stuff, Oauth to talk with Pownce, YAML to store user data and JSON(simplejson) to extract data from Pownce answers.

Hi there, that's very nice!

I'm glad someone did the whole thing since my approach could only post and needed the full username/password (no oauth). In any case please feel free to look at the source and reuse anything you need, if at all :)

I'm checking your code right now, the source of Jance needs some polishing at the moment but it's working great, you can check it and I will welcome any ideas or patches.

I'm using mercurial to serve it so it's pretty easy to test it and send patches.
